Title: Him: The World Doesn’t Revolve Around You Me: Well Not With THAT Attitude
24x24 Oil on panel

As we’re getting deeper into Halloween season, I have a special treat for you!
Heh heh …. Did you see what I did there? I have a special “Treat”? As in “Trick or Treat” because it’s nearly Halloween?

Did someone just make the sad-trombone sound? (Rude).

Okay, fine, that was lame. But you know what is guaranteed NEVER to be lame? An artist talk by interdisciplinary artist and educator: Mia Fabrizio!

Since moving back to the Philly area after getting her MFA at Tufts University in Boston, she has very quickly become a local legend in the art scene. If you aren’t familiar with her work, you can check out her website here: https://miafabrizio.com/

I am one hundred percent serious when I tell you, her artist talks are phenomenal. They’re engaging, informative, incredibly interesting and always entertaining. She’ll make you think and also make you question why you ever thought an artist talk would be boring. (She’s in the Art and Design Department at West Chester University, and every student of hers that I’ve met, has gushed about what a great teacher she is, even though I’ve tried, very hard, to get dirt on her).

Mia’s the opposite of boring. Like if Funfetti Cake was a human being, it would be Mia.

Why am I telling you all about Mia? Because Mia has very graciously offered to do an artist talk for me (because she knows I’d rather staple my head to the floor than stand in front of people and talk). Can you believe it? Me either. I’m stoked!

Both exhibitions are on view through October 28. Stop by, discover inspiring artwork, and support our local artists!

Art in the Woods 2026: Give Back to Our Community!

Join us for Art in the Woods on Saturday, October 10, from 11 AM–4 PM at the Chester County Art Association! Along with a day of art, shopping, and community, we’re hosting a Soup Drive benefiting the West Chester Food Cupboard.

Bring canned soup donations to help support local families experiencing food insecurity. Every can makes a difference, and together, we can help ensure our neighbors have access to the food they need.

Founded in 2009, the West Chester Food Cupboard is a 100% volunteer-run organization providing fresh and nonperishable food to thousands of local residents each month. Their mission is simple: because no one should go hungry.

Come enjoy Art in the Woods, support local artists, and help us make a difference in our community. We hope to see you there!
