The Lancaster County Art Association hosted a "Garden Tea" on Sunday April 12. Attendees enjoyed a delicious assortment of sandwiches and sweets with their tea while admiring the artwork exhibited by the LCAA members in the LCAA's "Garden Show” that runs through April 23.
A program entitled "Tips from the Masters - Gardening" was presented by Master Gardener Lois Miklas who used fine art to illustrate a variety of gardening tips from the Master Garden program. As an added bonus, every participant received a small matted original artwork donated by the LCAA artists.

We have not included the Lancaster County Art & Craft Show in our 2026 Schedule. We hope to resume having it at a future date.

Next time you are at the LCAA check out these nifty bags! They have our LCAA logo and are easy to take with you. Open the small bag and you have a larger bag for shopping. Many places have banned plastic bags - this is a great alternative. They can be attached to your purse or belt so you always have a bag! They are only $15 each. Proceeds benefit the LCAA!

Would you like to help with our 2026 Art & Craft Show? We will need help on our set up day with setting up, placing signs, directing artists to their spaces, etc.  We need people to greet visitors, give out info at the LCAA booth, clean up after the show, offer suggestions, brainstorming ideas, etc. If you would like to help for an hour or two when the show is held or throughout the year in preparation for the show, please let us know.
Questions? call the LCAA office at 717-687-7061.

Beware of any emails that purportedly come from Carol Dale and request assistance to purchase gift cards for a charity. This is a scam. She did not send those emails. Whomever is sending those emails is up to no good. Delete the emails and do not click any links in them.
