Medium Explored Our Forms of Expression

Creatives explore their artistic voices via drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, architecture, performance art, dance, music, and more. We can dig down further to find watercolor, oil, graphite, charcoal, digital art, mixed media, and many more.

In early June of 2025, York, PA, explored eight different forms of creative expression during Medium, a collection of eight presentations focusing on various art mediums, curated by Andrew Smith of Visual Realia, LLC. The series was part of the PCA&D Work/Space program, an outreach by the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design.

During the two weeks, Clay monoprints by Andrew Smith and Mitch Lyons were displayed. Lyons, a Pennsylvanian, created the clay monoprint medium and its initial techniques.
