Today was a bit different. You see, the Allentown Art Museum is currently exhibiting \u00a0&#8216;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allentownartmuseum.org\/exhibition\/edge-art-fantastic\" target=\"_blank\">At the Edge: Art of the Fantastic<\/a><\/em>,&#8217;\u00a0the most comprehensive and largest exhibition of fantastic art to date in the United States. \u00a0When I saw an ad featuring Donato Giancola&#8217;s <em>The Hobbit<\/em>, I just knew I had to go! The presentation is quite impressive &#8211; showcase fantasy art from hundreds of years ago to present. If you ever wanted to see works in person, but really didn&#8217;t want deal with going to a convention convention, this showcase is a perfect opportunity. Tolkien themed works on exhibit: The Hildebrandt Brother&#8217;s <em>Smaug<\/em> and <em>The Gift of Galadriel<\/em>, Ruth Sanderson&#8217;s <em>Galadriel<\/em>, Mark Zug&#8217;s <em>The Sands of Gorgoroth<\/em>, Matthew Stewart&#8217;s <em>Battle of Five Armies<\/em>, Stephen Hickman&#8217;s <em>Siege of Minas Tirith<\/em> (triple WOW factor in person), Darrell Sweet&#8217;s <em>The Slaying of Glaurung<\/em>, and last but not least,\u00a0Donato Giancola&#8217;s <em>The Hobbit<\/em> (Absolutely stunning in person &#8211; and gigantic!). The exhibit runs through September 9th 2012 in Allentown, PA. \u00a0[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.allentownartmuseum.org\/exhibition\/edge-art-fantastic\" target=\"_blank\">Allentown Art Museum<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live near Allentown, PA and rarely have an opportunity to partake in any special events that would&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":56591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14,17,7,35,70,148,149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-events-exhibits","category-hobbit-book","category-lotr-books","category-fans-meetups","category-hobbit","category-lotr"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Matt_Stewart_-_The_Battle_Under_the_Mountain.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-eIJ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56593,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56589\/revisions\/56593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
