Center of American Craft celebrates one year


In the past year, the Center of American Craft has blossomed from a restaurant and bar into a bustling hub for creators, members, volunteers and friends.  

Our amazing team of members and staff have transformed the restaurant seating into a gallery, store, and office. We have hosted 39 classes, 3 exhibitions, chapter events, First Friday celebrations, and brought more than 9,000 visitors through the door.

It's been a monumental first year, and we invite you to come celebrate it!  On First Friday, July 5, we'll commemorate the first birthday of the Center of American Craft at 335 N. Queen St., Lancaster. We'll open our latest exhibition, Under the Influence, enjoy craftsmen's demonstrations, and more!

P.S. We're still working hard on updating and equipping the old kitchens and ballroom into fully functional class and meeting rooms.  Join us any Monday, Tuesday, or Friday in May for painting, cleaning, and camaraderie days! Call us at 717-431-8706 for more details.
