Harleysville, PA. – Berks County artist Jon Bond will present his “Nothing is Everything” exhibition in collaboration with the Mennonite Heritage Center, Harleysville, PA. The art exhibit in the Lapp Gallery will be on display October 18 through December 18, and in conjunction with the Christmas Market on December 2-3, 10am – 4pm each day. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist and learn the stories behind the paintings during a reception on Sunday, November 13, 1 – 3pm.

“Nothing is Everything” will feature 40 original works including egg tempera, oil, watercolor, and ink drawings. Finished works, along with studies and derivative compositions, capture the harsh rustic beauty of the northern Berks County landscape that surrounds Jon’s art studio. The art is a nod to the strong Pennsylvania German heritage of the area and conveys a silent sense of place where inanimate objects become neighbors, farmers, family, and friends.

Many items will also be available for purchase. Unique gifts featuring reproductions of Jon’s art include zippered carryalls, puzzles, pillows, pencil sets, postcards, greeting cards, and more.

Mennonite Heritage Center is located at 565 Yoder Road, Harleysville, PA 19438
