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.

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.
