The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art announces two new exhibitions "Harmony in Contrast: Bridging Nature and Industry in Landscape Art" in Loretto and "Visions of Entertainment," which features music, movie, and television posters in Johnstown.

Opening Jan. 19, the Loretto exhibit explores the dynamic interplay between the serene beauty of nature and the commanding presence of industrial scenes through SAMA's permanent collection. The exhibition will span both galleries at SAMA Loretto and runs through May 12.

"Harmony in Contrast" invites visitors to witness the convergence of vibrant, colorful landscapes with the formidable and imposing depictions of industrial landscapes. This juxtaposition serves as a focal point, highlighting the unique harmony that can emerge when nature and industry coexist within the artistic realm, officials said in a release. Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Loretto is open Friday through Sunday, noon to 4:30 pm.

The Johnstown exhibit "Visions of Entertainment" features works from the Mark Del Costello poster collection and includes music, movie, and television posters showing the prowess of 20th century graphic design artistry. This exhibit opens Jan. 8 and runs through May 12.

SAMA Johnstown is located in the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. The museum is open during the school session, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment. To schedule an appointment, contact Hannah Harley at hharley@sama-art.org.
