Contrary to what might be expected from an animal of such massive stature, elephants are typically quite quiet as they sneak through the jungles. Animals in close proximity to a stealthy herd can easily be unaware to their presence.

Artists too can be secretive and slip under the radar of their very neighbors. Acts of staggering imagination go on daily in our Bucks County neighborhoods without the public’s suspicion being alerted.

Ever look at a piece of artwork and wonder about the person who made it?

Recently the Huffington Post ran an opinion piece by Michael Kaiser—President of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts— lamenting Millennials’ low “culture IQ.”

“We now have an entire generation of young people who have had virtually no exposure to the arts,” Kaiser declared, citing anecdotal examples of young colleagues clueless of Caruso’s tenor or Giuseppe Verdi’s place in history. He warned that unless we bolster arts education (and make the arts more affordable to young people), arts organizations will flounder in a few years’ time as their donors, board members, volunteers and patrons age without anyone to replace them.

Elephant’s Eye Studio Tour is pleased to announce the addition of artists Devin Bird and Deborah Bruns-Thomas to this year’s tour. The inclusion of these artists continues the tour’s mission to feature various studio disciplines and innovative, high-quality work of contemporary Bucks’ County artists.
