Honesdale. ‘Anima: Instincts and Intuition’ to be featured at the Wayne County Arts Alliance Gallery

Wayne County Arts Alliance Gallery announces its first members group show of the 2025 exhibition season: “Anima: Instincts and Intuition,” running April 10 through May 3, with an artists’ reception on Friday, April 11, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Animism is the belief that every living thing has an individual soul. It stems from “Anima” which means “soul” and is the root of the word “animal.”

That soul is linked to instincts and intuition - behaviors, innate knowledge and compulsions that allow us to survive, create, and experience the world as the animals we are. Birds fly south for the winter, wolves howl at the moon and we express our journey through life by creating art.

“Anima: Instincts and Intuition” includes the work of 19 WCAA artists who engage in questions like these:

What sparks our desire to create?

Who are we deeply, on the inside?

Participating artists are Erica Mozdzen, Elizabeth Tilley, Laura Lippay, Phyllis Chekenian, Norma Bernstock, Barbara Carpenito, Diane Stout, Sierra Gaglione, Victor Polanco, Diane Motroni, Bill Westmoreland, Debby Pollak, Mary Ardan, Tom Holmes, Bozena Janiszewski, Susan Cottle, Monique Milleson, Sonya Gregory and Olivia Martin.

Wayne County Arts Alliance Gallery is located 959 Main St., Honesdale, Pa.

The gallery hours are Thursdays through Sundays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, send an email to wcaamaingallery@gmail.com, or visit to waynecountyartsalliance.org.
