7:00 PM
"An Evening with Martin Guitar"
Baker Hall, Zoellner Arts Center
All are invited to continue the evening in Baker Hall as executive chairman of C. F. Martin & Co. Chris Martin shares stories from over 35 years of leading the iconic Nazareth-based company, along with musical accompaniment by accomplished Lehigh Valley-based guitarist, Craig Thatcher.
The performance is presented by Zoellner Arts Center. Tickets are Choose-What-You-Pay and available at zoellnerartscenter.org.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In his 1944 folk anthem "This Land Is Your Land," Woody Guthrie imagined a place of true belonging—a landscape where people could move freely, unimpeded by rigid boundaries.
With dozens of artworks from LUAG’s collection alongside historic images and artifacts from the C.F. Martin & Co. Archives, "This Land" challenges traditional notions of "America" and "Americans". On September 1, be among the first to experience the exhibition, which includes a listening room, interactive library space, and thought-provoking works that explore themes of identity, belonging, and our shared histories.
