Art in the Air: Civic Club of Harrisburg to host spring art show, featuring local artists

Spring into Art 2022

For lovers of art, an upcoming event will be right up your alley.

In conjunction with the city’s ArtsFest this weekend, the Civic Club of Harrisburg will host its second annual “Spring into Art” show on May 27 to feature local artists.

The event will showcase work from 20 local artists who specialize in ceramics, painting, upcycled clothing and more.

“There is so much talent in our city and limited gallery space,” said artist Reina “R76” Wooden, one of the event organizers. “It’s a mission of ours to highlight and promote the talent.”

While Harrisburg’s Artsfest, which runs May 27 to 29, draws artists from across the country, Wooden explained how the Civic Club’s art show is focused specifically on diverse, local talent.

Visitors can view and purchase art for sale from 12 to 6 p.m. with free admission. There will also be food available on site.

“It’s about creativity and meeting other people in the community and supporting them,” Wooden said. “There’s never enough art.”

The Civic Club of Harrisburg is located at 612 N. Front St., Harrisburg. For more information, visit their website.
