The Baum School of Art in Allentown presents a special exhibition featuring the artwork of local artist, educator and philanthropist Ronald K. De Long, through to Aug. 18.
“Wind-Shifts, Mood-Swings, and Other Anomalies” reflects De Long’s endless curiosity, creativity and dedication to exploring his own personal artistic vision, while inspiring others to stay connected to their own imagination.
De Long is the owner of Studio & Gallery 2908. He had a long career at Crayola, and taught arts education throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond – including at The Baum School of Art. He also made a made a philanthropic gift to inspire and encourage students at Penn State Lehigh Valley, with the Ronald K. De Long Gallery.

His most recent works, his “Wind-Shift” series, are making their debut in the school’s galleries.
