Creativity is….A Community Art Exhibition
Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D)’s Exhibitions Department and Center for Creative Exploration have teamed up with support of the City of Lancaster Office of Public Art to host an opportunity for the Lancaster community to showcase their visual response to the prompt, “Creativity is…” in an exhibition that is currently installed at the Lancaster Marriott and Lancaster County Convention Center located at 25 S.
