Join us for Third Fridays at the Lancaster County Art Association in Strasburg! Each month, our gallery opens its doors from 5–8 PM for an evening of art, community, and creativity.
Stop in to check out our current exhibit, featuring work from talented local artists. Then head over to the classroom for Open Studio, where creatives of all kinds gather to work on their current or new projects in a relaxed, welcoming space. Bring your own supplies, snacks, and drinks — and settle in for a few hours of focused creating alongside others who share your passion.
Whether you're working on a piece of your own, looking to mingle with fellow artists, or simply curious to see what the local creative community is up to, Third Fridays is the perfect low-key way to connect. No pressure, no agenda — just art, conversation, and good company.
All ages are welcome! Please note that minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Come be part of the creative energy in the heart of Strasburg — we can't wait to see you there!
