Milford — The Pike County Historical Society will host a temporary art exhibit beginning Friday Dec. 4 and running through the end of January. The recent success of Yvonne Parker’s art exhibit titled “Then and Now: Expressions of Beauty” was the catalyst in the decision to maintain the Music Room of the museum as a space for local artists to display their wares. The latest showing is brought to us by John Kolbek, a young artist from Bushkill, who works in oils to depict “surrealisms.” John was one of 11 people, world wide, selected as “Illustrator of the Year” as per the L. Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the future showcase. He has shown his work in many New York galleries, and was featured, locally, at the APA Gallery. Kolbek is a graduate of Northampton College and Kutztown University. The Columns will host an opening and a complimentary “meet the artist” reception on Friday Dec. 4 to celebrate the opening of the exhibit, from 6-8 p.m. For more information visit online at www.pikecountyhistoricalsociety.org.
