Seven Lively Artists is a group of plein air painters from the Harrisburg, PA area that spend a week each summer painting on Cape Cod. The works in this exhibition are examples of their paintings done during past visits to the Cape.
In 1956, the original members of the Seven Lively Artists began meeting for lunch one afternoon a week and painting together on weekends. The group soon organized their first exhibition in November 1957 at the McCormick Annex of the Harrisburg Public Library. Since that exhibition, the Seven Lively Artists has become one of the most enduring and most beloved groups of Pennsylvanian artists. The original seven increased in membership to over 35 artists, and created life-long friendships. Earl Blust, who continues to paint, teach and travel with the group, is the only surviving founding member. Today there are 17 active members including: Don Brandt, Joe Dudding, Brian Eppley, Jonathan Frazier, Paul Gallo Frank Hebert, Dave Henry, Ralph Hocker, Robert Hughes, William Kerman, Don Lenker, John McNulty, Steve Wetzel, and John David Wissler.
