Lewisburg Arts Council
Lewisburg, PA
Where artists and art lovers intersect
Our Mission: Since 1968, the Lewisburg Arts Council (LAC) has worked to build recognition and support for all art forms and to advance their exhibition and performance in the Lewisburg area and the Central Susquehanna Valley. LAC creates an intersection of artists and art lovers, cultivating a community where artists can thrive and residents have regular opportunities to engage with the arts.
From a quiet Open Studio afternoon at 15 North Water to a packed April Arts Festival on Market Street or an intimate Live at the Gallery concert, the Lewisburg Arts Council ensures that in this historic Susquehanna river town, the arts are not an occasional extra—they are part of the everyday fabric of community life.
Flagship programs:
The Gallery at 15 N Water Street: a welcoming, accessible space where local and regional artists, exhibit their work in solo and group shows, lead hands‑on workshops and classes, and host informal meet‑ups and conversations around art and craft. Learn more here
Lewisburg Arts Festival: held each spring on Market Street, a juried festival featuring 120+ artists and artisan food vendors from across Pennsylvania and neighboring states. Learn more here
