The Bloomsburg Children’s Museum in Pennsylvania is hosting an exhibition titled “Graphic Art by Glen Klein and Raku Pottery by Jeff Krankoskie,” featuring works by two artists from Danville. Glen Klein, a graphic artist and former butcher’s son, creates surreal digital prints and photographs, while Jeff Krankoskie specializes in wood-fired raku pottery, a dramatic technique involving red-hot pots plunged into organic materials. The exhibit runs through October and is included with regular museum admission.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the work of local artists in a children’s museum setting, bridging community art and family-friendly education. By showcasing Klein’s journey from cartoonist aspirations to commercial graphic design, and Krankoskie’s mastery of an ancient Japanese-inspired firing method, the show offers visitors insight into diverse artistic processes. It also underscores the role of small regional museums in supporting and promoting regional talent.
