Ghost Stories with Josh Hitchens
Ghost Stories with Josh Hitchens, Dramatic Live Reading
A disfigured man comes out of the bedroom closet when the lights go out. The things on the stairs. Something sinister that waits in the deep, dark woods. The consequences of using a Ouija board. In this chilling solo performance, Josh Hitchens relates these tales and more - and they're all true. A horrific and deeply moving piece about confronting the demons that haunt you in the dark.
Tickets Required, purchase them HERE
"Hitchens is an intimate, compelling storyteller, and these tales flow from pathos to laughter to chills under the direction of Ryan Walter...Whether or not you believe in ghost stories isn't important. Every well told story has a grain of truth, and you can find ones here that mean something to you...Being afraid demands a primal human bond that laughter, suspense, excitement, or even sadness never will. Maybe ghost stories aren't about fear at all, but about that underlying vulnerability and the magnetic connections that follow." - Alaina Johns, Broad Street Review.

Hello! Welcome to my inaugural workshop:
Retrain Your Brain
Why? Because it’s art. We can do whatever we want.
The goal of these two sessions (Monday, May 12th (Day1) and Monday, May 19th (Day2) is to give yourself permission to create without judgement. To retrain your brain to work intuitively by shushing your ego and just letting go. Bring your favorite materials that inspire you to create. The only expectation is a willingness to experiment, make a mess, allow for mistakes, and engage in a process that may open you to new directions in your approach to your artwork. Expect homework, consider it a seven day challenge! We review your experience with this exercise in the 2nd session.
An itinerary will be emailed to you upon registration. Please feel free to reach out via text or email if you have any questions:

About Me:
In 1995-96ish, I started applying specific mental processes into my art practice. I decided to meditate/prayer for several minutes to ask the universe to help me turn off my ego and let the art and the universe direct the work. The result was that for the first time, my work authentically reflected my feelings without my needing to verbalize them. It was a breakthrough.
I graduated with: a BFA in Textile Design from Moore College of Art & Design in 1992; a Post Baccalaureate degree from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2010; and an MFA in 2013, also from PAFA. I have exhibited predominantly along the East Coast and have work in private collections throughout the United States and internationally.

Cold Wax Workshop
with Linda Povey
Saturday, May 3 11:00am – 2:30pm
Aston Mills Arts
Teaching Studio 1st Floor
3900 Mount Road
Aston PA
In this workshop we will explore the techniques and benefits of applying cold wax medium to oil paint. Students will mix palettes and apply to surfaces using rollers and squeegees, building layers of history and making marks, while learning solvent lifts and other techniques unique to the medium.
Beginner to advanced artists welcome to join!
Class Fee $125 – Materials supplied. Please bring your own oil paint if you have it.
Reserve your spot! lpovey@brand-alchemy.com
About me
I am an artist working in Philadelphia and Wellfleet, Massachusetts. After a 30-year career working as a creative executive in marketing and advertising, I began painting full time after discovering oil and cold wax as a medium. I have been very fortunate to study with some exceptional teachers, including Lisa Pressman, Lisa Boardwine, Randall Graham, Nick Wilton and Rebecca Crowell at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ballycastle, Ireland.
Living and working in Wellfleet, Massachusetts every summer since 2019, my work has turned to the beautiful spirituality of the Cape Cod landscape. Even during the winter months working from my studio at Aston Mills Arts in Philadelphia, I am drawn to capturing this healing and breathtaking place.
My work has been shown at the Provincetown Museum, Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, The A Gallery in Provincetown, Chester County Studio Tour, The Wayne Center for the Arts, Aston Mills Arts and The Historic Yellow Spring Art Show. My work is exhibited at the Frying Pan Gallery in Wellfleet and Orleans, Cape Cod.
