'Skull Sessions' Art Exhibit Opens At Bucks County Community College

NEWTOWN, PA — A new art exhibition, “Skull Sessions,” is on view from now through Jan. 6 at the Hicks Art Center on the campus of the Bucks County Community College in Newtown.

From realism to narrative installation, the exhibition represents a range of genres in which artists amongst their art group peers are currently practicing.

The title of the exhibition takes its name from the strategy-building sessions that are more typically associated with athletics — especially football. In “Skull Sessions,” the art speaks for the artist with ideas shared and communicated to the viewers as if they are players on a united team.

Like an art fair format, the artworks and installations in “Skull Sessions” are arranged within the areas of Hicks Art Center designated to the following 20 different artist-run collectives and cultural organizations in the Bucks County and Philadelphia regions:

• African American Museum of Bucks County
• Art at Kings Oaks
• Arts and Cultural Council of Bucks County
• ARTWRKD
• Automat
• fjord
• Grizzly Grizzly
• Newtown Historic Association
• Past Present Projects
• Peep Projects
• Pink Noise Projects
• Rush Arts Philadelphia
• Space 1026
• Termite TV Collective
• The Upstairs Gallery of Bucks County
• Vox Populi
• Zach's Crab Shack

The groups will be represented by artworks or displays from their board members, curators, directors, or members at large, some of whom do not often exhibit their own works collectively. “Skull Sessions” offers a unique opportunity for the public to see the 20 participating artist-run spaces and cultural organizations in one location together for the first time ever.

There will be an opening reception on Dec. 6 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at Hicks Art Center. All are invited and welcome to meet the artists and cultural organizations’ members. The show is free and open to the public.

Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 12 to 4 p.m. The gallery will be closed in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday November 22 to 25. For winter break, the gallery will be closed from Dec. 22 to January 2.
