Weekend at the Gallery
We just finished up a lovely weekend event at Gallery 141 in Lancaster city – the Open Air Etsy Fair. The event, which coincided with Lancaster’s Spring Art Walk and the Launch Music Conference, was chock full of music and fabulous art. We really couldn’t have asked for better weather, but we could have used a bit more foot traffic, to be honest. That’s partially why I’m taking the time to post about it now, when I should be working and/or soaking my sunburn…the Gallery is quite lovely, there were a great mix of artists on site and on display, and they’re hoping to have more events in the future, so please check them out!
We shared a tent with an awesome artist whose name is completely escaping me. I will dig her business card our of my stuff tomorrow and post it here. She’ll be showing her work at Gallery 141 starting May 1.
One of our neighbors on-site turned out to also be our (almost) neighbor in real-life – Kristen Von Hohen with her gorgeous ceramics. She’s based a few miles up the road from us, and there’s some potential collaboration there…watch this space for details.
On-site music included Innocence Rush (their lead singer bailed but their guitarist did a bang-up job filling in – he really brought in the crowds) and Becca and Jake, a young duo whose version of Etta James’ “At Last” blew my mind. Keep an ear out for some of their original music on an upcoming Braindouche!.
There were many other artists and musicians, but my brain is officially post-craft-show mush. One final moment of note: I smelled a durian milkshake.
Take a moment to check out Gallery 141 on Water Street in Lancaster if you’re in the area, or stop by their site, blog, or Facebook profile and give Alana, the owner, some love. (She gave me a caramel cupcake, after all.)
(And yes, I realize it would have been more effective to blog about this before the event…oh, well.)
