We need your help to stay paywall free

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

Running through April 6, the “Recent Acquisitions” exhibit highlights approximately 90 pieces added to the museum’s collection since 2019, spanning centuries and international origins. “The Sincerest Form: Master Art Copyists,” on view through May 11, showcases copies produced on-site by National Gallery of Art-certified copyists, concluding with a ceremony and panel on May 10. Meanwhile, the annual “Cumberland Valley Photographers” exhibition, on display until July 27, celebrates regional talent with support from local sponsors and foundations.

The museum also partners with Washington County Public Schools for a two-part student exhibition from April 12 to May 4, with elementary works shown first and secondary-level artwork and competitions to follow. On April 27, an open house invites families to view middle and high school students’ submissions, including those competing in the Capital Women’s Care Art Competition.
