It was 'Art in Motion' when the second-annual Lansdale Fun A Day art show brought in hundreds of people to see the talents of local artists from across Montgomery County.
The Lansdale Fun A Day art show is not your typical black-tie art gallery affair. In fact, it’s held in the upstairs ballroom of a local pub. “It’s better than going to an art museum,” Matt Rosenfeld, a Blue Bell resident, said. “This is less formal, more relaxed, and a different crowd of people.” While this was Rosenfeld’s first visit to the art show, of the hundreds of visitors that attended this year, many have made it a point to return. “I think these shows are great, because you get a lot of different artists from different perspectives,” Mike Omensetter, of Hatfield, said. “It’s not your traditional, mainstream, mass-produced art. It’s much more personal with these artists.” Omensetter said that he became passionate on attending …

A horror-inspired art show gets Montco residents in the Halloween mood.
This weekend, those in the mood for something "spook-tacular" had a treat at the Tell-Tale Art Show at Lansdale's Third and Walnut Bar. The art by Amy Rim lived up to its namesake. The non-smoking ballroom featured a cash bar and many guests in costume, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and the looming holiday. See our full gallery by Patch Photographer Kristen McMaster.

Amy Rims stepped down from her position on the task force due to a move to Bucks County, and questions why no task force members supported her art shows
A vacancy has opened on the 311 W. Main Task Force in Lansdale with the resignation of North Penn School District resident Amy Rims. Rims was asked to step down due to her move to Sellersville, Bucks County. Borough Manager Timi Kirchner said the task force and its members are governed by an ordinance, one that defines the composition of the task force. The task force ordinance calls for 11 members. Four of those members must be council members. Four other members must have an established arts and entertainment background and need not be from the North Penn district. The remaining three members must be North Penn residents or own a business in the North Penn district. Rims was one such member. "Amy was appointed to the task force as a …

Lansdale's Fun-A-Day show exceeds expectations in both quality and attendance
As a sign that the arts are alive and well in Lansdale, hundreds of area residents attended Friday night's Fun-A-Day show at Third and Walnut, shattering the originally expected attendance. The show -- which featured the works of local artists who participated in January's Fun-A-Day project -- began nearly half-an-hour early, as groups of eager art patrons couldn't wait to make their way inside. Due to the overwhelming turnout, many of the artists on display sold pieces of their work, and a handful of lucky attendees received the unique stylings at a fraction of their price, courtesy of the Millionaire's Auction. The show's coordinators and the participating artists were thrilled with the event. By night's end, there was already talk about…
