Here’s what’s happening in York, Chester, Lancaster counties

Special events

▪ In celebration of the 2017 UCI BMX World Championships, the Arts Council of York County hosts reCYCLE, works by Leah Mulligan Cabinum and Sean Mueller June 15-July 30 at the Center for the Arts, 121 E. Main St., Rock Hill. A free, public reception will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. June 15. Carbon and metal frames begin to lose their identity as they are twisted and stacked. Gears and chains are pieced and welded together to create three-dimensional spheres. Wheels no longer grip the dirt, rather they rotate from above. In their work, both Cabinum and Mueller repurpose found objects, often bike parts – gears, valve stems, inner tubes, tires, bike chains, as well as the frames themselves, manipulating them to create sculptural installations.

▪ “Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl: Home Sweet Home” will open at the Museum of York County with “Home Sweet Home Family Day,” 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the musuem on Mount Gallant Road. Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl will be on site and available for hugs and photo opportunities. Family Day will feature special programs and activities.
