Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) will open dual exhibitions featuring the works of two alumni. "Earthling," showcasing artworks by Leah Limpert Walt, Class of 2018, and "A Solitary Loop," featuring artworks by Jason Herr, Class of 2016, will open in the college's Main Gallery on First Friday on Nov. 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. Members of the public are also welcome to attend a free Artist Talk by Limpert Walt the same day at 3 p.m. in the college atrium.

In recent years, PCA&D has offered an Alumni Artist in Residence program where the participating artist has an exhibition on PCA&D's campus. Limpert Walt and Herr were both PCA&D artists in residence at different times. Limpert Walt completed her residency in May 2023, and Herr was the artist in residence in 2020.

Limpert Walt, a Lancaster-based adjunct instructor at PCA&D, served as the 2022-23 Fine Art Alumni Artist in Residence at the college. She also has studied at University of Delaware and Moore College of Art and Design, and she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and multiple awards from PCA&D. She has shown in Philadelphia, New York City, and throughout the lower Susquehanna Valley, and is co-founder of King St. Workshops. More information is available at http://www.leahlimpertwalt.com.

Herr, the college's first Fine Art Alumni Artist in Residence, has shown in galleries in Lancaster, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York City, Los Angeles, England, and France, and won Best in Show for the "Thrive" exhibit at the Sunshine Gallery in 2014. He has contributed illustration work for Mondo Zero press, Kus! comics, Lifted Brow magazine, and Future Islands. Herr's artworks often examine the isolation and loneliness of the contemporary world.
