In addition to being the administrative assistant for the Art Department and an adjunct instructor in art history, Jan Ciganick is an exquisite watercolorist. She has a show of her work at Reading Area Community College through December 16, called “Historic Buildings of Eastern Pennsylvania.”

Her painting (above) from last year’s Paint Out at the Bethlehem Steel Works, “Blast Furnace No. 4,” was accepted for the juried Palette Club exhibit at Allentown Art Museum, which closed October 15.

You can see it, however, in “Moment in Time: The Bethlehem Steel Plant Today,” opening Thursday at Payne Gallery. This exhibit showcases the best of those works created at Paint Out 2004. It includes works by Krista Steinke Finch; and of the Moravian art students who participated in Paint Out, Kirsli Spinks ’05 also has a piece in the show.
