POTTSTOWN — Schuylkill River Greenways invites the public to view the 2025 Scenes of the Schuylkill art show, which runs from Nov. 4-21 at the North Hall Gallery of Montgomery County Community College’s Pottstown Campus.
The yearly juried event highlights the distinctive beauty and culture of the Schuylkill River National and State Heritage Area. Patrick Rodgers, Manager of the Montco Cultural Center at Montgomery County Community College, has curated the annual show for Schuylkill River Greenways for almost 10 years.
“I love the natural aspect of the show. It always brings nature in when the fall is releasing nature and we are all spending more time indoors,” said Rodger
Over 60 artists entered the show, and nearly 100 pieces will be on display.
“I love The Scenes of the Schuylkill because it brings out all the creative people who enjoy the river and the beauty of the trail from top to bottom,” shared Debby Wyatt, ceramic artist and owner of Centered Clay Studio in Kennett Square. She entered a piece that depicts the trail from the mountains to Center City.
This year’s Guest Juror is David Aipperspach, a local painter and Assistant Professor of painting and printmaking at Ursinus College, who received his MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA in Landscape Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, and has had his artwork displayed from coast to coast.
“I’m primarily a landscape painter and I’m also an advocate and user of parks, trails, and the Greenways, so this is a great fit.” Aipperspach chose winners for best in show, best 3-D art, best student, and more. When choosing the winner, he shared, “In landscape and nature art, I’m looking for seasonality. I really like when color and landscape painting is really specific and evocative and transcends the traditional blues and greens we might expect.”
The show kicks off with an artists’ reception on Nov. 5 from 6-8 pm. Tickets will be available online until Nov. 4 on the Schuylkill River Greenways website, https://support.schuylkillriver.org/scenes2025
A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. The show is open to the public free of charge during regular business hours for the college.
