BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Nor'easter has already canceled events throughout the region, but there are a handful that are still happening, all of them inside.
If you enjoy art, the 97th Annual Juried Art Show will open on Saturday at Phillips' Mill in Solebury Township, celebrating the legacy of the New Hope "Impressionists." The show continues through Nov. 1.
You can also catch the "Stella" exhibit at the Bucks County Community College in Newtown and enjoy a mandolin concert in Solebury Township.
The storm has already forced the cancellation of numerous events around the county, including Newtown Porchstock, the New Hope Arts & Crafts Festival, Warrington Day, the Potential Car Show in Newtown, Warminster Day, and the Celebrate Solebury Community Farm Tour.
Before you head out, please check if the event you're planning to attend is still taking place. Here are some of the events planned for this weekend in Bucks County:
The Phillips' Mill Community Association will celebrate the legacy of the New Hope Impressionists during its 97th Juried Art Show opening this weekend. The show is the most prestigious of its kind in the area, drawing crowds from beyond Bucks County during the peak fall season. Besides contemporary Impressionist work, the more than 500 pieces of art on display and for sale include drawings, paintings and works on paper, contemporary and traditional, framed and unframed; sculpture and fiber art, and ceramic sculpture. The show continues through Nov. 1.

Imagine a world before Pinterest and online sites influenced design choices and tastes. That is the world the public will enter when they step inside the Hicks Art Center Gallery's "Seeing Stella: An Installation by Jen Blazina" from now through Oct. 17 at Bucks County Community College's Newtown Campus. The solo artist exhibition examines the life and impact of Stella Elkins Tyler (1884-1963), on whose estate the college was founded more than 60 years ago in Newtown.
