LCAA To Hold "Still Super" Yard Sale

The Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA) will host its "Still Super" yard sale at 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg, on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Spaces at the sale, measuring 10 by 10 feet, are available to the public for a set price, and vendors will need to bring their own table and display equipment. The deadline to register is Sunday, Aug. 21.

Although LCAA has a consistent stream of offerings to the community, this will be the first year the yard sale has been held. "We thought this would be a great way to raise funds for the association," said Patricia Keller, a member of the art association. "It's also a nice way for artists to sell their work and get commission. It supports individuals as well as LCAA as a whole." Donations are also being accepted for LCAA's table, excluding large items, clothes and electrical appliances and devices. Donations may be dropped off at the LCAA on Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. "The goal is just to raise funds any way we can," said Keller. "The pandemic hurt us, and we're trying to get back."

Similarly to LCAA's Artist's Attic sale, the yard sale will offer the general public an opportunity to purchase artwork made by local talent at a discounted price, as well as learn more about the art association, which recently celebrated its 85th anniversary. The Artist's Attic will be held from Aug. 21 to Thursday, Sept. 8, and all LCAA members may contribute framed or unframed work. People's Choice awards will be given, and 40% of the commission on sales will benefit the LCAA.

The LCAA has offered many opportunities for the community throughout the decades since its inception, including art classes, lectures and a new show every six weeks. Keller, a watercolor painter, has been a member for 35 years and has helped hang artwork at shows and volunteered time to help with several other projects. "We have a lot of youth classes," Keller said. "I want young people to appreciate the arts. It's important to explore your creativity because it affects so many other areas. Your creative mind affects everything." The LCAA is always accepting new members and volunteers of any age, with members being granted yearlong access to shows and activities such as art classes. Keller noted that the best ways to support the art association are to make a contribution and come see a show, all of which are free with an opportunity to donate.
