"Seeing Stella" Exhibit Continues At Hicks

Imagine a world before Pinterest and online sites influenced design choices and tastes. That is the world the public will enter when they step inside the Hicks Art Center Gallery’s “Seeing Stella: An Installation by Jen Blazina” from now through Oct. 17 at Bucks County Community College’s Newtown Campus. The solo artist exhibition examines the life and impact of Stella Elkins Tyler (1884-1963), on whose estate the college was founded more than 60 years ago in Newtown.
