In January 2022, the Lancaster County Council of the Arts in partnership with the Lancaster County Library launched "Creative Tuesdays @ the Main" to offer art workshops. Using the newly renovated meeting spaces at the Main Branch of the Library, the workshops are for various ages (typically 16+) who are hobbyists, beginners, or professionals. All workshops are art related and include visual, performing, and literary arts topics. Workshops focus on materials, techniques, and professional development. The LCCA develops the schedule, secures workshop instructors, promotes the workshops, registers participants, and monitors the workshops. The Library provides facility management (locking and unlocking the space; security, etc). All workshops meet during Library open hours.
*All classes are currently scheduled for 4:30-6:30pm at the Lancaster County Library Main, and registration for each class is $30. Dates and times are subject to change.
