Lycoming Arts is proud to announce Alan Zerbe as the 2025 Ways Garden Art Competition judge. With over three decades of experience in the creative industry, Alan brings a remarkable blend of artistic vision, professional insight, and a deep commitment to visual storytelling.
Throughout his distinguished career, Alan has helped shape some of America’s most iconic brands, including Villanova University, Crayola, Corning, CoverGirl, DeWalt Tools, Hershey’s, Mack Trucks, and United Way. His work as an art director and creative director has earned national acclaim, with honors from the Addy Awards, Art Directors Club, American Graphic Design Awards, and HOW Magazine.
