Marquis de Lafayette Visits Lancaster

lancaster county art association artists • REGITZ GALLERY

In celebration of the historical bicentennial of Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to Lancaster, the American Friends of Lafayette – Lancaster have commissioned illustrations for a commemorative book from Lancaster County Art Association artists. The illustrations, which will be featured in the book Marquis de Lafayette Visits Lancaster, will be on display in the gallery.

On July 27-29, 1825, the French general—who helped the United States to win the Revolutionary War—passed through Lancaster County during a 13-month grand tour of the country. Multiple commemorative events are planned throughout the region in celebration of the 200th anniversary of his journey, including the American Friends’ “A Summer Evening with Lafayette Musical Performance” at the Ware Center on July 28 at 7 p.m.

On display July 7-28

Gateway to the Unknown II

Ron Ettelman • REGITZ GALLERY

Ettelman’s visionary art takes found objects and liberates them from their traditional functions, reconfiguring them in a combination of whimsy, concept, and symbol. “An object separated from its original function… is a beginning, a gateway,” says Ettelman. “My finished works are always a surprise.”

On display August 1-29
