LEWISBURG — The Stroll Through the Arts Weekend features 40 artists displaying their works in businesses along the six blocks of downtown Market Street on Friday evening and “Dance to the Music” Saturday evening.

Among the featured artists is David Seybold, who is displaying a 10-year retrospective of his work since moving to Lewisburg in 1999.

The exhibit is at the Packwood House Museum, 15 N. Water St., through Saturday. There will be a public reception for him from 6-9 p.m. Friday.

The exhibit includes some of his original oil paintings produced in his Beck Street studio. More than 50 originals are included, most loaned from private collections. For more information, visit www.davidseybold.com or www.packwoodhousemuseum.com, or call 524-0323.

Another featured artist is Susan Ball Faeder, who will display 100 photos taken during a five-day journey last January to Okinawa. The “Okinawa 2009 — A Culture Preserved” exhibit will be set up in Faeder’s shop, The Beckoning Cat — Treasures of Japan, 209 Market St.

The images are set to music in a digital slide show format, and include portraits of the Okinawan people, local food, indigenous textiles along with the extraordinary landscape and the ruins. Faeder has been traveling to Japan for nearly 40 years, ever since her first experience living there as a Williamsport High School exchange student in 1970.

The Stroll Through the Arts Weekend caps off with the third annual Dance to the Music, with five bands in five venues in downtown Lewisburg, on Saturday, from 7 p.m. to at least midnight. From vocal jazz to rock to blues, all the band performances are free and open to the public.
