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!
LCAA is located at 149 Precision Ave, Strasburg PA next to the Strasburg Community Park.

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