Art in the Garden

On First Friday, September 6, the public is invited to stroll through the gardens and watch local artists at work or shop for a work of art that catches the eye at a free plein air event in the courtyard of First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange Street, in downtown Lancaster. The event will be held from 5 pm to 8 pm. You may enter the courtyard from Orange Street to the left of the church, or from Christian Street to the rear of the church.

First Reformed Church is a diverse congregation with a continuing commitment to engaging downtown residents and guests, including serving more than 16,000 free meals each year for those confronting food insecurity. Art in the Garden is one way we share our urban garden with the community, while supporting local artists.

Local artists are invited to join by contacting Theresa Rettig at 717-682-2240. Bring your paints, brushes, easels, table or pottery equipment, and work on a piece, or display your work for sale.
