The artists developing the façade artwork for the new parking garage and public library at Ewell Plaza in downtown Lancaster are hosting two listening sessions to gather public feedback on the project.
Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, of Miami-based R&R Studios, will host the virtual sessions at 11 a.m. May 22 and 6 p.m. May 24. (Register for the May 22 session here and the May 24 session here.)
The sessions will follow the format based on a survey released by Lancaster city in April to gather comments, opinions and inspiration from the community. The survey will remain active through May. 28.
The survey results and listening sessions will be used to inform the design concepts of the façade artwork and future art projects and programming at Ewell Plaza, according to a press release from the city.
This weekend marks the spring edition of Lancaster ArtWalk, a self-guided tour of galleries in Lancaster city. Some galleries will offer live demonstrations and meet-the-artist events, while others will extend their hours to make sure art lovers have a chance to check out the displays.
For some, this yearâs spring edition of ArtWalk is particularly special, as galleries were closed this time last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are what a few galleries have planned this weekend. Admittedly, this listing only scratches the surface. For a full schedule of ArtWalk events, visit lanc.news/SpringArtWalk.
