Reignited

In the fall of 1968, Jim Germaux and Chuck Stump met as incoming freshmen at the IUP Art Department. Over the next four years they shared many classes together and developed a friendship and appreciation for one another’s art. As often is the case, graduation found them losing touch. A chance encounter 20 years later reunited the friends, after which Jim credits Chuck with reigniting his creative fires. Since then both artists have had numerous solo exhibitions and gallery representation. They also welcomed the chance to exhibit together whenever the opportunity presented itself. “Reignited” marks their 5th such collaboration during the past 30 years.
