PAINT THE CITY

Join us for one of the most creative days of the year.  Paint the City transforms the streets into open air studios, where artists of all kinds–painters, sculptors, and more– set up throughout the city to create live, spontaneous works of art. The 2026 line up:

• Curio. Gallery & Creative Supply

Matt Allyn Chapman will be set up beside Curio, working with some of his favorite materials-pen, ink, & watercolor! Ask questions & have conversations with him as he works.

• Denim Coffee

Libby Ethridge of Wild Rice Co. is a contemporary, abstract painter who lives and works in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Born in Seoul, Korea, she came to America as a young child when she was adopted at the age of three. Her colorful, personal style comes alive with vibrant colors, textures, and the shimmering touch of gold leaf.

• Friendship Heart Gallery

Artist Casey Allyn will be creating outside.

• Gallery on Market

Cindy Schlosser will be demonstrating & painting bowls out her back door along Market Alley.

• Lancaster Art Vault

During the downtown Paint the City plein air event, Lancaster Art Vault will come alive beyond its walls as resident and guest artists gather to paint, sketch, and create beneath the eaves of the gallery and throughout the surrounding streetscape. 

Paint the City  invites the public to witness the creative process unfold in real time — from first brushstroke to finished impression. We are also delighted to welcome fellow community artists to join us in this shared artistic experience, fostering connection, inspiration, and the vibrant spirit of Lancaster’s creative community. Artists interested in participating or learning more are invited to contact us at Info@LancasterArtVault.com.
