Art lovers will want to attend the Fall ArtWalk 2008 this weekend in Lancaster, Pa., (between Philadelphia and Harrisburg).

The event will feature more than 50 arts venues. Artworks on display will include mixed media, photography, printmaking, and much more. There will also be special events happening at some galleries, such as pumpkin painting, wine tasting, art demonstrations, and meet-the-artist open houses.

If the art isn't enough to sate your palate (or should we say palette?), there are performances, including a cabaret and a female barbershop chorus, and even "Art on a Plate," where local restaurants present special menus.

Official ArtWalk hours are Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday noon–5 p.m. Gallery admission is free; some performing events are admission only. Lancaster's Gallery Row begins at Prince and Walnut Streets; there are lots of downtown parking areas.

Reader Comments

This is always a great time in Lancaster, Pa. Don't miss Building Character (www.buildingcharacter.biz) just off the city's 300 Block of North Queen Street. They have lots of great merchandise, including art and a market on Sundays. Very cool place. Very cool city.
