The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will host Arthur Sterngold at the museum's Society Program, at 2 p.m., May 18, in its Community Room. Sterngold will be speaking on Using Photography to Rediscover the Physicality of Place.
By special request, this is a repeat of Sterngold's Coffee Hour talk in April, according to a news release. The lecture is free and open to the public. The Taber lecture series is sponsored by Catherine Burns Insurance Agency, Muncy.
"As an undergraduate student at Princeton University, Arthur studied fine art photography with Emmet Gowin, a renowned artist whose works have been exhibited worldwide," the news release said. "Arthur was inspired by Emmet's vision and hoped to follow in his footsteps, but after graduating from college, he had to put his photography on the back burner in order to earn a living and raise a family. Arthur worked in business and advertising for several years, and then decided to pursue an academic career. He joined the business faculty at Bucknell University, and later moved to Lycoming College, where he served as the first director of the Institute for Management Studies. After retiring from his college position in 2022, Arthur took up photography again with a vengeance. He has had solo exhibitions at the Lycoming Arts Gallery in Williamsport, the Artspace Gallery in Bloomsburg, and the GSVCC Gallery in Selinsgrove. Over forty of Arthur's photographs are on display at the Silk Mill Complex in Hughesville, where his studio is also located."
The museum is located at 858 W. Fourth St., Williamsport. As this is the third Sunday of the month, admission to the museum that day is free. For more information, please call the museum at 570-326-3326 or visit the museum's website at www.tabermuseum.org.
