Another First Friday in the books! Thank you to all who came out for the closing reception of our Main Gallery Exhibition, "Coming Into View." The show featured a collection of art and artists self-defining what it means to be emerging and all artists who were on display are living and producing artwork in Lancaster and York counties!

Prof. Pam Barby's juniors capped off a Graphic Design classroom assignment with a collaboration that will ultimately be sported by fans of the Lancaster Stormers, the locally based Atlantic League baseball team. It's a new design for a ballcap to be sold in the team's Clipper Stadium store. Five finalists were chosen from designs from all 14 of the students, with honors going to Aiyana Alvarado, Leslie Bosch, Warren Burke, Bahir Harris, and Maddie Reynolds. Their designs go up for a vote on all of the team's social media platforms, with the winner's design being turned into an official piece of Stormer merchandise. ... The winning design will be chosen in enough time for production to take place and for it to appear in the team store on Opening Night, April 30. 🔗 Full story @ the link in our bio!
