On Thursday, August 4, 2011, the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) will be holding an inaugural fundraising dinner in celebration of their 15th anniversary. There will be a silent auction of AMD artwork during the dinner to build on the success of the 2006 Anthrascapes Art Show, held at Arts YOUniverse in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The dinner precedes the Pennsylvania Abandoned Mine Reclamation (PA AMR) Conference, occurring Friday and Saturday, August 5-6, 2011 at Best Western Genetti Inn & Suites in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Any artwork not sold at during the dinner will be on display and open for bidding during the conference. We encourage all artists who participated in the Anthrascapes Art Show to exhibit their talents and invite new artists to join. We are accepting existing artwork with AMD and can also provide an artist with Iron oxide if they wish to create new pieces.
