Greetings, friends of the Center!
We are so excited to welcome the holiday season with our brand-new exhibit, Ned Smith: Winter Colors, which opens tomorrow, December 22 at 10 a.m. and runs through Saturday, January 23. This exhibit features some of Ned Smith's most celebrated paintings of winter scenes, and we are thrilled to offer this exhibit at no charge to our valued community!
Admission to the Olewine Gallery is always free to Ned Smith Center members, but this is the first time we have extended this offer to ALL of our visitors.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to see some of Ned Smith's most valued works - BUT HURRY! This special offer only lasts through this exhibit!

Urgent! Education funding in danger. Please help!
Attention friends and supporters of the Ned Smith Center,
As you know, the Ned Smith Center's mission hinges on education. Or vision of connecting nature, people and the arts can only be accomplished through our unique, diverse and dynamic educational programming.
We have just received word that, since the budget deal has been consummated, Governor Rendell is pushing hard for his Film Tax Credit over the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program that we depend on so much for our funding. In fact, the EITC program almost solely funds our education programming. Both programs are identical in size ($75 million dollars) and cuts must be made somewhere to meet the agreed upon budget goals.
It is unconscionable that the tax credits, for you our donors, may be cut substantially in favor of Hollywood moguls that the Governor has made promises to. This is not only about our programming and your tax credits, but it is also about Pennsylvania jobs in the non-profit sector that may be lost if the Governor has his way.
Time is of the essence and I would ask that you act immediately. Please click here for a sample email that you can send to our Senators and Representatives:

Simply paste the text into your own email and send it to your Senators and Representatives. For a list of the addresses and fax numbers of your/our Senator and Representatives, please click here. If you have difficulty, don’t hesitate to call the Center at 717-692-3699.
We are so grateful to you for your support of the Center - we humbly ask that you act on our behalf and help us continue in our mission.
