By popular demand, we're starting an art critique group at Anno Artem Gallery on the second Wednesday of each month. At "Art Analysis" (A4), you can bring your art for a fair and constructive critique by your peers. Works can be at any stage of development, from conceptual to complete.

The presenting artist should be able to describe their thoughts behind the piece and their methods. Discussion participants should be able to discuss a work's qualities constructively and objectively. 

This is not a place for blind praise nor unproductive negativity.

Participants can secure a spot by emailing submissions@annoartem.com.

Five spots for analysis will be available at each session, ten spots total for discussion participants.

$20 • 6:00–8:00 PM • All skill levels welcome

Will I leave with a finished image?
You’ll learn to capture your negative with your phone on site. Physical prints and negatives can be purchased and may be available for pickup after the workshop.

Can I bring my own roll of film?
Time is tight, so development focuses on the demo roll we shoot together. You’re welcome to ask questions about your own film.

What’s included in the $30 ticket?
One cup of coffee, your portrait taken on B&W film, the live caffenol demo, and a tutorial on capturing negatives with your phone. Prints and physical negatives are additional.

Is this safe?
Caffenol uses household‑level ingredients, but we’ll still provide gloves and review safe handling and cleanup.

Join us for an immersive sound bath event inside the gallery at Anno Artem every second Friday—a restorative journey through vibration, resonance, and deep listening.

Surrounded by beautifully curated artwork, you’ll be gently guided into stillness through an hour of live sound meditation featuring gong, handpan, singing bowls, chimes, drums, and more. Expect waves of sound that calm the nervous system, support deep rest, and invite quiet reflection.

This is an opportunity to pause. To listen. To float.

What to bring:

To fully relax and receive, we recommend bringing:

• A yoga mat or camping pad

• Two blankets (one for cushioning, one for warmth)

• A pillow and eye covering

• Any other comforts or supports to ease your body into rest

Come early to settle in—sound begins promptly.

Location: Anno Artem Gallery

1 Security Plaza, Suite 202, Pottstown, PA

Investment $25.00

Hosted by Emma Peabody. Bring whatever you’re working on and spend time being creative in good company! It’s that simple.

We’ve had knitting, sketching, crochet, coloring, watercolor, and wreath-making going on. And if you’re between projects, just bring yourself and doodle while we chat.

Free, easy parking out front. See you there!

SAVE THE DATE. Downtown Cookie Crawl - shop small & support local this holiday season!

Last month we helped host downtown's first Halloween bar crawl - and honestly - one of the most fun aspects was seeing neighbors and friends who don't normally go out together, meet up, hang out and have fun. We're looking to capture that same community spirit and positive energy again, but this time to support small business, independent operators and shopping small for the holidays.

HOW IT WORKS:

• participants receive a punch card at beginning location

• FREE Christmas cookie or other holiday treat at each stop

• make a purchase, get your card punched by that location

• 5 punches, enters you into the gift card drawing

• participants drop their punched card off at end location (J.J. Ratigans)

Jen has delved into both the medical and holistic healing arts for more than a decade. As a former registered nurse, her sound and yoga offerings are uniquely catered to the energy of the moment, room, and recipient(s) as learned through ample bedside experience; refined deep listening; and, keen awareness. Her soul purpose is to facilitate space for rebalancing the collective nervous system by quieting noise and the monkey mind through soothing sound, silence, and stillness. Jen knows it is imperative for the recipient to feel safe, warm, and comfortable so that they are able to release and surrender into their journey of restoration. It is her honor to hold this space for opening and depth. It is also her honor to share these potent, ancient modalities with the global community.
