The Square Halo Gallery within The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster, will host an Irish-inspired show in March and April.

The spring exhibit will feature printmaking from Lancaster County illustrator, graphic designer and curator Ned Bustard. His two new books are "Saint Patrick the Forgiver," a children's book published Feb. 21, and "33: Reflections on the Gospel of Saint John," a book of Irish poetry with art inspired by the well-known "Book of Kells," a manuscript Gospel book in Latin.

On First Friday, March 3, a book release party for "Saint Patrick the Forgiver" will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the gallery. The story highlights Patrick, a bishop of Ireland who was not actually Irish. Combining Patrick's words from his Confessions with a few of the legends about him, the retelling teaches families about the life of the real saint and helps them discover a story of love and forgiveness along the way.

The Row House will host a lecture on St. Patrick at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 17. Graham Dennis will share a tale that challenges many assumptions about Patrick. Tickets may be purchased at a discounted price in advance or full price at the door. Row House members plus one guest will be admitted for free.

In May, the gallery will welcome select student artists from Messiah University, and the summer show will focus on the art of Sandra Bowden, a pioneer in the art and faith movement of the past several decades.
