It’s the return of the Modern Art Open Studio! And this one is special: it’s also a chance to participate in “A Place for Every Piece: Lancaster’s Living Quilt”: a new public art project commissioned by Art at Amtrak for the Lancaster Train Station.

Join us by bringing a textile or fabric that holds a special personal or cultural significance to you. (A t-shirt that you love but don’t wear anymore because it’s got some holes, onesies from your kid that remind you of how cute they were as babies, a tablecloth, handkerchief or bandana from a memorable event, all just examples…) Each piece will be carefully incorporated into a grand quilt to be displayed at the Amtrak station, accompanied by your stories and memories associated with your contribution. Bring your piece and a memory you’d like to share with us and we’ll all sit around and talk about those memories while we hang out.

As with all open studios, you can also bring your latest project, artwork, or percolating idea, and get a lil artsy with a group of awesome people. We'll have tables, easels, music, conversation, papers, pens, chairs and snacks.

Don't have a project or feel a little nervous about all those weird artists in one place? That's ok, we've got things you can do and those weird artists will make you feel very welcome.

And it’s also a chance to check out our two current installations: The Corner Store of the $pectacle and the Art Peep show.

Free! and open to the Public. No need to register, just come on over.
