On the third Friday of each month Open Studio will be held at the LCAA from 5pm to 8pm. The next Open Studio is July 17th.
What do you need? Your own supplies, art inspiration to work on a project of your choice, and a snack or drink to share with the group. Open Studio is open to all members and non-members so bring your friend!
Sometimes it's just nice to work with a group of people rather than by yourself in the studio. Give it a try! 

At the May 13 90th Anniversary Celebration Dinner Honorary Membership Awards were presented in thanks for their volunteer work on behalf of the LCAA to:
Amelia Abrams
Dave Allen
Victor Capecce
&
Anita Gordon-Palmer
Photographs from the 90th Anniversary Celebration have been uploaded to one of this website’s Gallery Pages and can be seen by clicking clicking the appropriate link in the top navigation menu or by clicking HERE.

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.

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!

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

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.
Also, exercise caution if you receive emails from members or friends with special invitations, especially if “paperless post” is mentioned in the email. If you want to check if an invitation is legit, contact the member/friend at their legit email address (not whatever is in the suspect email) or phone and ask them if they sent you an invitation. There are emails that purport to be sent by members and friends that are used by unscrupulous people to try to steal your login and password data so that they can commit identity theft.

The LCAA is would like to hear from artists who are interested in becoming an instructor here at the LCAA.
We are always interested in hearing from artists who are skilled in various techniques and knowledgeable in varous subjects in Art.
If you would like to speak with us about teaching here, call and ask to speak with Carol Herr. She would love to hear from you. Call during our regular hours or leave a message. (717)687-7061
