BETHLEHEM, PA — The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) kicks off its fourth installment of the Venture Academy Series for adults, with a talk by Tony Hanna, Executive Director of the Bethlehem Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday, September 26th from 6-7:30pm.  This fall series of guided explorations, which will focus on building a creative and sustainable community with an emphasis on the collaborative contributions of governmental, business, educational, cultural and arts leaders, will then continue on Tuesday evenings and feature additional talks by:  Mark Erickson of Northampton Community College, John Saraceno of Saraceno Design, Jeff Vaclavik of Deja Brew Coffeehouse, Doug Roysdon of Mock Turtle Marionette Theatre, Anna Russell of Allentown Public Theatre, and John Callahan, former mayor of Bethlehem.

The Venture Academy, now in its second year and fourth installment, is a series designed to promote provocative ideas, images, and sensations for venturesome adults seeking to cope with an increasingly complex, bewildering, exciting, interesting, and sometimes scary world.  The Venture Academy is produced by Norman Girardot, Professor Emeritus, Lehigh University in collaboration with the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts’ Adult Enrichment Workshop Series.  Presenters volunteer their time to the Venture Academy and proceeds benefit the Charter Arts Creativity Fund for Teachers which supports distinctive creative projects and opportunities for teachers at Charter Arts.
