Put 3 Dots on your First Friday itinerary! Celebrate the opening of ClearWater Conservancy’s Art & Chocolate exhibit with us.

In the heart of winter, nature unveils its serene beauty—snow-covered landscapes and
sparkling icy streams that invite reflection and connection. This exhibit celebrates that
stillness, showcasing artwork inspired by the natural world of central Pennsylvania. Each piece, created by regional artists, captures the unique beauty of the landscape
that surrounds us and the human experience within it. Winter’s quiet beauty invites
moments of introspection, and there’s no better way to embrace it than through art that
captures the essence of these special moments.

The artwork on display is generously donated to support ClearWater Conservancy’s
mission to protect and connect vital landscapes, wildlife habitats, and waterways in our
region. These works are also part of the 2025 Art & Chocolate online auction, with all
proceeds benefiting local conservation efforts. We encourage you to bid, experience the
joy of creative expression, and share in the mission to preserve nature’s wonders.

We invite you to explore this exhibit and take the time to fully experience the nuances of
color shifts and texture and reflect on the concept speaking through each piece. The
artwork reflects the awe and inspiration found in central Pennsylvania’s landscapes and
the personal experiences of the residing artists, with each piece contributes to
ClearWater’s ongoing conservation of these natural areas.

We hope your visit will inspire you to connect with the natural beauty surrounding us,
embrace the quiet of winter, and spark your own creativity. Thank you for supporting the
ongoing conservation of our region through art.
