138 metroguide 2018-19 Edition Greater Pittsburgh’s Four Seasons There is something both comforting and disquieting in the changing of the seasons. The very certainty of this natural progression — winter to spring, spring to summer, summer to autumn and autumn back to winter again — provides Southwestern Pennsylvanians with a framework for our lives. e change — our expectations, our pace, even our clothes W— along with the weather. And although we can, quite literally, set our watches to this seasonable timetable, there is still much wonder and surprise to be found. A 70-degree December day, an April blizzard — these blips on the radar screen serve as gentle (and not so gentle) reminders. They remind us that the seasons do not necessarily surrender their reign without a fight. And they remind us that our attempts to measure the weather in terms of barometric pressure readings and wind chill factors are somewhat misguided. For in the everyday world, it’s the fight, the passion, that gives this ongoing drama its colors, smells, textures — its meaning. So complain as we will (and we will) about the weather, we’re lucky. Here in Southwestern Pennsylvania, we have the opportunity to watch each of the four seasons reveal its secrets. And thanks to our terrain and our collective spirit, we often do more than watch. We celebrate. Festivals, carnivals and other rites of passage dominate the landscape. No season is left unsung. www.pittsburghmetroguide.com 139 Art Galleries ..........................................140 ooking for something to do Dance ......................................................141 on the weekend?

It is with great pleasure, then, that we present Arts, Culture, and Economic Prosperity in Greater Philadelphia, the latest data available regarding the economic activity of our region’s nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their audiences. This report is the result of collaboration among many partners, including Americans for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Cultural Data Project (PACDP), Metropolitan Philadelphia Indicators Project, and Drexel University’s Arts Administration Graduate Program. We thank the cultural organizations whose participation in the PACDP made this report possible, in particular those who allowed us to survey their audience members. We are also grateful to The Pew Charitable Trusts and the William Penn Foundation for their support of the Cultural Alliance, and to Tom Scannepieco and 1706 Rittenhouse Associates for supporting the design, printing, and distribution of this report. We express sincere gratitude to our external reviewers, board of directors, and staff, who guided the work through its inception and development. Much growth has occurred in our sector over the last decade. Through the information, analysis, and tools contained within this report, we trust that Arts, Culture, and Economic Prosperity in Greater Philadelphia will help us all in the quest to continue building an ever-stronger, more vibrant region.

    Henry Chapman Mercer Fact Sheet

    Henry Chapman Mercer Fact Sheet Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930) a noted tile-maker, archaeologist, antiquarian, artist and writer, was a leader in the turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts Movement. ● Henry Chapman Mercer was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1856 and died at his home, Fonthill, in Doylestown in 1930. ● After graduating from Harvard in 1879, he was one of the founding members of The Bucks County Historical Society in 1880. ● He studied law at The University of Pennsylvania and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar. Mercer never practiced law but turned his interests towards a career in pre-historic archaeology. ● From 1894 to 1897, Mercer was Curator of American and Pre-historic Archaeology at The University of Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia. ● As an archaeologist, he conducted site excavations in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and in the Ohio, Delaware, and Tennessee River valleys. ● In 1897, Mercer became interested in and began collecting "above ground" archaeological evidence of pre-industrial America. ● In searching out old Pennsylvania German pottery for his collection, Mercer developed a keen interest in the craft. By 1899 he was producing architectural tiles that became world famous. ● At fifty-two Mercer began building the first of three concrete structures: Fonthill, 1908-10, his home; the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, 1910-12, his tile factory; and The Mercer Museum, 1913-16, which housed his collection of early American artifacts. ● Mercer authored Ancient Carpenters Tools and The Bible In Iron. ● Fond of animals and birds, Mercer developed a large arboretum with plants native to Pennsylvania on the grounds of Fonthill.

    Volume 41 Issue 3 May/June 2012 President’s Message by Pete Bellisario New Flowers. New Houses. New Street Cleanliness. And More. Hope you have been enjoying our nice weather and all the colors that come with spring. There are many articles that will be in this newsletter with much more information in the rest of the newsletter about the subjects that I will introduce in this report. May 5th will be our flower planting date. We always ask for volunteers, young and those young at heart. We will plant at three corners of California and Termon Avenues. Last year the Federation took responsibility for the last flower bed at the intersection of Ohio River and Brighton Heights Boulevards. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy provides the plants and volunteers to plant in addition to our members. This year we have also added Antrim Street. Last summer, the Antrim Street group, under the leadership of Kelly Day and Jerome Jackson, received a grant from the Home Depot as part of the Mayor’s "Love Your Block" Program. They requested to be included in the future plantings, and we were very, very pleased to agree. If you haven’t been by the corner of Antrim and Fleming, you should check out what a small group of workers and volunteers can do -- a great job of improving their little neck of the woods. Last year we sponsored a day at PNC Park and all went very well except for the final baseball score. The Board decided to give it another shot and we will again provide bus transportation to and from the game.
