Announcing "The Little Apple"


"The Little Apple", the upcoming exhibition at Ken Jones Jr. Fine Art in Easton, Pennsylvania, will have its opening reception on Saturday, October 4th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.

Inspired by the historic connection between Easton and its famous "Big Apple" neighbor, "The Little Apple" will explore the apple as an icon and feature photography, paintings, and works on paper by Charlie Bidwell, Joyce Ely-Walker, Bruce Fackenthal, Josh Goldstein, William Hudders, Kathryn Lynch, Brandon Roosa, Krista Steinke, and Kevin van Aelst. The show will run through November 30th.

In the meantime, the gallery's inaugural exhibit, "Movin' On Up!", has been extended through September 28th. New work by exhibition artists has been added to the show as well as new gallery projects perfectly prepared for the end of summer.

In this month's edition of Lehigh Valley Style, arts columnist Steve Piccione had these kind words to say about Ken Jones Jr. Fine Art:

[Their] ingenious exhibits are quickly making 526 Northampton Street a destination gallery. Wisely, Jones fills the space with art for first time buyers on tight budgets as well as discerning collectors looking for investment purchases from established painters. This is a stimulating, fun environment where rigorous quality control and playful exploration combine to create a highly addictive aesthetic experience. Add this to your reasons to explore the neighborhood this weekend instead of going to Soho or Old City.
