From Dusk to Dawn – Our Main Gallery features From Dusk to Dawn, an exhibition exploring the quiet, transformative hours between sunset and sunrise. Featuring work by Dan Graziano, Robyn Burckhardt, Whitney Babin, Dan Henry, and emerging artist Allie Bretz, the exhibition captures the beauty and atmosphere of these in-between moments through fading sunlight, moonlight, and the first glow of morning. The exhibition also includes work by 30 Call Selected Artists, bringing together a wide range of perspectives and artistic approaches.  

The Biospheres Series [and other editorial surrealism] – Resident artist Peter Stevenson presents a solo exhibition exploring landscape, place, imagination, and the unexpected ways these ideas intersect. His Biospheres series grew from his return to the Lancaster area and his interest in the region’s farmland, architecture, and natural surroundings. Alongside the series, Peter’s editorial surrealist works play with scale, perspective, and vibrant color to create unexpected visual worlds.

U Gallery – Our U Gallery brings together the vibrant and expressive work of Carrie Kingsbury, Linda Benton McCloskey, and Ceanna Davis. Carrie creates joyful mixed-media animal portraits filled with bold pattern, vibrant color, and playful storytelling. Linda explores abstract portraiture through richly textured surfaces, intuitive mark-making, and adventurous color. Ceanna’s equestrian- and aviary-inspired oil paintings capture movement and emotion through rich color and expressive brushwork.

Blend in Beauty – Resident artist Tina Borchert explores nostalgia, materialism, and consumerism in Blend in Beauty. Incorporating personal relics and childhood memories, including vintage toys and iconic labels. Tina’s work blends humor and reflection while exploring the memories and cultural objects that shape both our personal and collective experiences.

Orenda: Seneca Art & Magic – As we approach Native American Heritage Month, we are pleased to present Orenda: Seneca Art & Magic by Kristin Witbeck Lee, a Certified Tribal Seneca Artisan.

As it will be close to Halloween, he will display his series of landmark Lancaster buildings depicted as dystopian yet playful creatures. Also on display will be select illustrations from his Joculare series which celebrates innovative performers of the 1900s. Finally, there will be highlights of Jason’s wood-based pieces including wall hangings depicting the tree lighting ceremonies of nearby towns.

In order to highlight our paper-based workshops, we will have a communal collage mural happening throughout the Art Walk weekend. Instead of lines and shapes drawn onto the canvas, color names will be written in various areas. The image will form as participants add correlating colored pieces of paper of various sizes and textures that blend from one color zone to another. They will find their papers of choice by tearing and cutting from a large library of books, magazines, and other scraps that will be provided.
