Upper Moreland Students to Participate in Multi-County Art Show

Arcadia University will hold its 30th Annual "Touch the Future" Art Show, featuring work from student artists in 30 high schools across Bucks and Montgomery counties, organizers said.

The event, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 5, will include a reception and awards ceremony for the winners of the show.

The show dates to 1987 when the Mideastern Region/Pennsylvania State Education Association founded the. It was partially inspired by the death of widely renown teacher-astronaut-hero Christa McAuliffe, who died in the Challenger accident.

McAuliffe’s statement, “I touch the future. I teach” resonated with the group and the “Touch the Future” art show name was born, organizers said.

Art teachers Lynne Pribis of Upper Dublin High School, Connie Berger of Cheltenham High School, Carly Najera of Bensalem High School, and Terry O’Neill of Neshaminy High School will chair the show.

The work will be on display open to the public from Feb. 5 through March 2 at Arcadia's Commons Art Gallery Area and Great Room Lobby at 450 S. Easton Road in Glenside.
