To find out the artist and title, mouse over the slide show

The Jewish holiday of Chanukah begins at sundown, Friday, December 11th.  Lighting Chanukah lights teaches us that when confronted with darkness, we must not resign ourselves to it.  Adding a new Chanukah candle every night must encourage us to spread light throughout the world.
Award winning printmakers of the Cheltenham Printmakers Guild participating in this exhibition include; Marlene D’Orazio Adler, Nancy Alter, Selma Bortner, Elaine Buono, Kathleen Chapman, Donna Douglass, Bonnie Goldstein, Marlene Grolnic, Nina Magil Hausner, Linda Nesvisky, Laura Ramos, Mickie Rosen, Merle Spandorfer, Mili Dunn Weiss, Carol Wit, and Lois Yampolsky who have created works in collagraph, monoprint, collage, monotype on handmade paper, etching, photo gravure, photage achival prints, laser prints, xerograph, and so much more.

The Cheltenham Printmakers Guild, founded in 1969, is composed of a group of professional artists from the Delaware Valley who are skilled in a wide range of printmaking media. The Guild is affiliated with the Cheltenham Center for the Arts in Cheltenham PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.
