A Brief History of the Blue Heron Gallery
Located in the picturesque heart of the Endless Mountains along the Susquehanna River, the gallery came into being partly as a result of the encouragement of Brooks Martin, Director of the Bradford County Regional Arts Council. After a touring exhibit of rostered PAC artists several years ago, it was noted that there was no venue in Bradford County for such an exhibit. When the Greater Wyalusing Chamber of Commerce planned their move to their current location, it was suggested that space be made available for an art gallery.
The Blue Heron Art Gallery was formed under the auspices of the Wyalusing Community Corporation during the summer of 2003. However, the first unofficial art show was the work of Marvin Baker and Bill Deats during the fall of 2002.
The Gallery's mission is to provide a venue for the exhibition of local, regional and international artwork irrespective of style or genre. We present several shows, poetry readings, lectures and/or demonstrations each year to local and regional audiences.
