Directions (See map below) - Charlestown Elementary School is located at 2060 Charlestown Road, Malvern. Charlestown Road extends from Route 23 in Phoenixville to its terminus in Devault at Rt. 29 and Phoenixville Pike. The school is at the top of the hill above the intersection of Rt. 29, Phoenixville Pike, and Charlestown Road.     Frequently Asked Questions Why are you having this show limited to paintings of Charlestown scenes? The Charlestown Historical Society serves to spread knowledge of the history and beauty of our township. CHS itself owns a variety of wonderful paintings of scenes in our township. Several members of the Historical Society privately own paintings depicting scenes of our township, some recent, and some paintings of earlier times. It's reasonable to assume that quite a few other residents own paintings of Charlestown scenes, and through that ownership, those residents would probably enjoy seeing township paintings hanging in other residents' homes. We would like to display as many of these paintings as possible in one place, and invite all residents to come and enjoy looking at the paintings.   Does the artist have to be a Charlestown resident? Absolutely not. Only the subject matter is restricted to being Charlestown scenes. The artist may be from anywhere.   Will there be art for sale? This show is not intended to be an art sale. However, if the owner of a painting (of a Charlestown scene) wishes to sell the item, it may be sold at the show. A 25% commission will be charged by the Charlestown Historical Society for any sales.   Why is the show restricted to Charlestown scenes? We feel there is probably a great deal of art depicting scenes of our township hanging on the walls of our residents and past residents. We prefer to focus this show on this limited subject. We will likely plan other art shows with different focus (Charlestown artists, photographs, etc.).
