Eugene Burkhart Jr., Blandon, Pa. AARP´s Andrus Award recognizes outstanding volunteers throughout the U.S. who are making a "powerful difference in their communities in ways that are consistent with AARP´s mission, vision and strategic direction, and who inspire others to service." Named for AARP founder Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, the first Andrus Award was given in 2002. In 2011, Burkhart was among 28 people nominated for the Pennsylvania honor. Burkhart is internationally recognized for his work as an accomplished pressed flower artist and craftsman, and his numerous and varied volunteer activities. “This is an incredible honor for me and important recognition for volunteers like me who are totally committed to supporting art in our communities and making it accessible to everyone,” said Burkhart, who is a retired special education teacher. While teaching, he was past president of The Council for Exceptional Children of Berks County and served on the Special Olympics Committee and The Berks County Special Education Art Show. Since retiring, he has volunteered as a Junior Achievement Consultant, a teacher in a Resource Room (Muhlenberg Elementary School) and a surrogate parent for special needs children (Muhlenberg and Fleetwood School Districts). Since 1999, he has served as the host and producer of the “Your Berks Craftsmen” show on Berks Community Television (BCTV), which gives seniors an opportunity to promote their artistic talents. He is also the host/producer of BCTV´s “Lively Arts at the GoggleWorks” and is the co-chair of the non-profit BCTV´s annual six-day fund-raising auction. Burkhart serves on numerous boards and committees, which include the Muhlenberg Township Arts Board, Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen, GoggleWorks Community Center for the Arts, the Greater Reading Convention and Visitor´s Bureau and the Senior Arts Festival. Among his many other volunteer activities are judging student and adult art shows, teaching, helping Girl and Boy Scouts earn merit badges, decorating the Pennsylvania Governor´s Mansion during the holidays, helping to decorate Reading-Berks Guild community parade floats and serving as an instructor at the Pennsylvania Cultural Heritage Center at Kutztown, Pa. AARP Pennsylvania officials Richard Chevrefils, state director, and Edward J. Ryan, interim president, said in a letter to Burkhart: “AARP Pennsylvania takes great pride in congratulating you on all you have done for the older adults, for your community, and for society. Your record of achievement, service, and commitment in your volunteer role as a mentor of senior citizens, children (both challenged and gifted) and people from all walks of life, as well as serving on numerous boards and committees to improve the quality of life for all ages in Berks County, provides and extraordinary example of the difference that volunteerism can make in the lives of individuals and in the well-being and vitality of a community.” According to “Early American Life” magazine, Burkhart is one of the top craftspeople in his field. He recently won the magazine´s highest Traditional Artisan Award for the fourth year in a row. A lifetime member of the Reading-Berks Guild and the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, Burkhart has his studio at the GoggleWorks, Reading, Pa. He has appeared at the Kutztown Folk Festival for 18 years. He was the best-of-show judge for pressed flower entries at the 2011 Philadelphia International Flower Show. He received the Berks Arts Council´s Pagoda Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts and won a major honor in the 1st International Pressed Flow Art Exhibition in Japan.

Typically titled "GoggleWorks Seventh Annual Artist Exhibition," the presentation will be up through Dec. 31 and contains the creative efforts of more than 30 artists in what is now the organization´s seventh year of operation. Smartly assembled and easy to traverse, the show holds nearly a hundred pieces and includes painting, photography, graphics and illustration. Included also are fabrics and sculpture, with ample amounts of space to appreciate each individual work without crowding. In addition to the thoughtful installation, the quality and direction of the art itself has jumped a notch. More than a few artists stepped out of their comfort zone, it seems, and opened the doors to new subject matter and diversity of material. For instance, the acrylic paintings of Judy Lupas veered sharply from her normal expressive abstraction to embrace a luminous landscape realism that made me do a double take when I realized it was her work.The same applies to the elegant acrylic nudes and figural pottery done by Sandi Giannini, a well-known landscape painter. Another painter, Elaine Soltis, uses glitter and flocking to render her normally medium-sized nature pieces, but for two diminutive eye catchers, "Branches 1 and 2," she goes semi-representational and crosses a few painted lines with a spot or two of glitter that gives the work a small but mighty presence. An installation by sculptor Birdie Zoltan titled "Shoe Store" distributes about 30 pointy-toed slippers along one wall with a handful, or should I say foot-full, on the floor. Each shoe is individually made of all manner of fabric, with differing textures, colors and patterns. They are hung somewhat willy-nilly in singles in what is like a peddler´s shop for elves. Painter and sculptor Alan Cernak has of late been working with manipulated and painted paper. A wall piece, oddly titled "Tessellation w/Yanki & Yakai," jutted out in tiny pyramidical formations that were painted piecemeal in order to represent two images. When seen from either right or left of the artwork, a different comical portrait is seen, but when viewed straight on, one sees a mish-mash of angular shapes. In an obtuse manner, he offers three artworks in one. The acrylic paintings of Adrienne Trafford glow with vibrant color and an intense sense of romantic feminine selfhood. One, titled "She Is That Important," depicts a young woman as she confronts the viewer and leans headlong into westward wind, her hair thick, golden, laden with flowers and whipping behind her. Slightly above her forehead, a red-breasted robin stands boldly, two blue eggs by her left ear. Also of note are the inventive collages of Cynthia Thomasset and the rich abstractions by Annalie Hudson, not to mention the excellent photos of Kevin Brett and the delicate fabrics of Janna Carrozza. Included too are works by Dan Gorman, Barbara Thun, Rich Houck, Sharon McGinley, Lauralynn White, Sue Biebuyck and Suzanne Fellows. A dynamic and inventive exhibit, it demonstrates the creativity and artistic spirit that we all know exists in this area. Contact Ron Schira: life@readingeagle.com.
