Call for Artists for Blossburg Coal Festival
Calling local artists, sculptors, makers – We need you! Would you like to get your amazing art in front of new eyes and be part of a monumental occasion? Saint Diane is hosting our first Art Exhibit “Labor Of Love” this year at the Coal Festival in Blossburg, on May 25th! The theme “Labor Of Love ” stems from the deep seated coal mining, union, and blue collar roots that run through Blossburg and Northern Pennsylvania’s soil. The gallery is supposed to be rather modern in style, but we will consider all work submitted. This will be open one day and if you could we’d like you to be there with your art! There will be a skateboarding competition there that day as well, so expect to see a bunch of younger people!
To Apply, email saintdianebuisness@gmail.com with your name, your age, and pictures of the work you’d like to be featured with a short description of it. Be sure to also include a way for us to contact you! Artists have until May 17th to submit their work for “Labor Of Love”. If you have further questions please email us or contact us on social media!

Writer’s Night Open Mic
The next Writer’s Night Open Mic will be held on Thursday, May 2nd at 7PM. If you want to participate in this month’s prompt, it is: write about something inspiring at the Gmeiner (can be artwork, an event, another person, etc.)
Writer’s Open Mic Nights will be held on the first Thursday of each month from now through June. Readings start at 7PM. Come early at 6:30 to sign up for a 10-minute slot if you plan to read. You can BYOB or grab a cup of coffee and some snacks, and socialize a little with other writers and appreciative audience members.
This is a free event, organized by Ashley Ensminger and Lyndsay Costley, who usually share a little of what they have been working on as well.
You do not have to be a writer yourself to attend. It’s fine to just come to listen and enjoy! Those in the audience are asked not to record without permission.
