Landmarks and Waterways: Illustrated Maps of the Lehigh and Delaware River Watersheds
June 15 - October 20, 2023
This exhibit is a culmination of a four-year collaboration with Pocono Mountain, Bucks County, and Lehigh Valley watershed associations, water resource scientist Rebecca Hayden, designer Keri Maxfield, and illustrator Tom Maxfield. These maps were created to bring each watershed to life for residents and visitors, presenting the landscape, historical and natural features, and the narrative story of what makes each watershed unique.
The process of each map’s creation involved the assembly of various layers of information using ArcGIS – roads, elevation contours, parks, rivers and streams, lakes, and historical features. Elements of each map were then hand drawn onto these layers. Each watershed group worked collaboratively on writing the particular story of their own area. Drawings of natural and historical features highlighting each map, along with beautiful color illustrations of the watershed’s wildlife were added to tell these stories. The finished pieces of art hang in public areas around the region, offering visitors a fresh perspective on the land, historical, and water resources that surround them.
Refocusing America's Ancillary Lens
November 1 - December 15, 2023
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome" – Booker T. Washington
The Moravian University Office of Veteran and Military Services presents this exhibit highlighting the achievements of women, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans in the U.S. armed forces. History is often representative of those that wrote it, which does not take into account the experiences of marginalized people who all too often have been excluded. In order to adjust our ancillary lens, this exhibit draws attention to the faces, names, and ranks of service people across the many branches of the U.S. military that broke barriers through history making ranks and unprecedented achievements.
