Art Gallery to host reception for artist Michael Bestwick on Jan. 22

'Found' exhibit runs through Jan. 30

UPPER BURRELL, Pa. — A reception for artist Michael Bestwick is set for 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 22, in the Art Gallery at Penn State New Kensington. The exhibit, “Found,” runs through Jan. 30.

Bestwick’s art is the re-purposing of garden-variety objects. Working with found materials, he creates sculptural and functional pieces. A commercial truck driver and mechanical fabricator by trade, Bestwick found that his knack for mechanical achievements translated into the creativity and deft hand skills needed for artistic endeavors.

The reception and exhibit are free to the public. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. on weekends.
