Figurative Show: Tribute to Mary Cady Rubinstein
The Figurative Show showcases artworks of the human figure by Central Pennsylvania artists.
This year’s show is a tribute to Mary Cady Rubinstein, a member and former instructor at the Art Alliance who died December 13, 2021. Mary was an award winning sculptor, printmaker, innovator and a fixture in the Central Pennsylvania art community for six decades. Many art students benefited from the life drawing and sculpture classes she taught over a span of more than 20 years at our Art Center in Lemont. Some of Mary’s figurative work will be on display during the show.
The Figurative Show will be on display at the Art Alliance March 10–19 (details below).

Artist Statement
I believe the arts are an essential part of our society and should be recognized as the foundation of creative thinking in education. We as artists or art enthusiasts have an obligation to create and promote an atmosphere that encourages one another to think differently and expand our imaginations. With the arts each of us has a lifelong resource for personal growth and enrichment. The roots of creative thinking extend deeper than what is seen on the surface and the arts are the catalyst for any productive and vibrant community.
