ANIMA Opening Reception at WCAA

Wayne County Arts Alliance Gallery (959 Main Street, Honesdale, PA. 18431) announces our first members group show of the WCAA Gallery’s 2025 exhibition season: “Anima: Instincts and Intuition”, running April 10, 2025 through May 3, 2025, with an artists’ reception on Friday, April 11, from 5pm till 8pm.

Animism is the belief that every living thing has an individual soul. It stems from “Anima” which means ‘soul’ and is the root of the word ‘animal’. That soul is linked to instincts and intuition – behaviors, innate knowledge, and compulsions that allow us to survive, create, and experience the world as the animals we are. Birds fly south for the winter, wolves howl at the moon, and we express our journey through life by creating art. 

“Anima: Instincts and Intuition” includes the work of nineteen WCAA artists who engage in questions like these: what sparks our desire to create?  Who are we deeply, on the inside?   Participating artists are Erica Mozdzen, Elizabeth Tilley, Laura Lippay, Phyllis Chekenian, Norma Bernstock, Barbara Carpenito, Diane Stout, Sierra Gaglione, Victor Polanco, Diane Motroni, Bill Westmoreland, Debby Pollak, Mary Ardan, Tom Holmes, Bozena Janiszewski, Susan Cottle, Monique Milleson, Sonya Gregory and Olivia Martin.

The WCAA Gallery hours are Thursdays thru Sundays 11am-4pm.
