LCAA To Present Anniversary Art Show he Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA), 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg, will celebrate its 85th anniversary by holding an art show featuring 5-by-7-inch original paintings donated for sale by its members. The show, themed “Lancaster County Color,” will open on Sunday, June 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. The exhibit will then be open through July 7 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The paintings, which will be on display in the Kauffman Gallery at the LCAA, will be hung on the walls according to color, creating a large color wheel. “Whatever the predominant color, it will go on that wall,” explained LCAA member Patricia Keller. “We have gotten animals, like horses; flowers; some abstracts; and fruits and vegetables. We have the gamut of things. Our artists did this as a group, so it’s not just one subject matter. Hopefully, this will be a successful fundraising event for us and one to celebrate our 85 years.”

The paintings will be matted, but not framed. Buyers are invited to have their paintings framed and then place them on a tabletop or a wall. Keller noted that the smaller paintings are designed to be more affordable to community members. Keller is also an artist and created paintings for the exhibit. “I have done tiny landscapes this size or (painted) one big flower. What is fun about doing it is that it’s a neat exercise. You can sort of expand your ideas,” she shared. “A lot of times I will do one that size before I do a big painting as a study - to get a feel for composition or the colors you want to use.” Founded in 1936, the LCAA supports the visual arts through exhibitions, classes, workshops and special programs. “We are the oldest art association in Lancaster County and have over 200 members,” said Keller. “Until we moved to Strasburg over 20 years ago, the association was centered on Vine Street in downtown Lancaster. We moved to Strasburg in 1998. We have a variety of classes for adults and also See LCAA pg 10

In 2020, the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Lancaster Relay For Life event was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Last year, Relay For Life of Lancaster County held an abbreviated event. “Everyone was so excited to be in each other’s presence and to be able to be on the track,” recalled Stephanie Delp, ACS senior development manager. “That momentum has carried us forward.” See Relay For Life pg 5
