"PCA&D acknowledges that York has a thriving creative community with several organizations that offer meaningful support. One thing that is often lacking, even in well-supported arts communities, is spaces that allow creatives to experiment or workshop ideas that are not always revenue-generating. This has led us to rethink the use of the PCA&D York space and present it as a creative pop-up program called the PCA&D Work/Space, where artists and creatives can submit an application/proposal to use the space for an experimental action, event, or creative idea in two-week increments for a small fee.
The PCA&D Work/Space program will be creatively flexible, and we anticipate possible uses being group readings or writing sessions, studio space for testing out larger works, a space to view an evolving body of work at one time, or for temporary installations, etc. Our goal is to promote curiosity, prototyping, and exploration of new concepts within the York community."

Art Demonstration - Live This Thursday
Have you been curious about these clay monoprints I share? Looking for something to learn about while sheltered-in-place at home?
This Thursday, May 7th, at 6:30, the Hanover Area Arts Guild and the Visual Realia Studio will be sponsoring a free online artist demonstration, live on Facebook.
At 6:30 PM Eastern Time, stop by the Guild's Facebook page. You'll notice a new post added around that time, and by clicking on that post, you'll be able to watch me show you some techniques used to create clay monoprints, a unique printing process where colored clay is used to create a one-of-a-kind print.
Clay monoprinting was invented by Pennsylvania native Mitch Lyons, who resided in southeastern Pennsylvania, so there's a state connection to the art medium.
If you want to get a peek at the process beforehand, you can read a short article on his website:

Note: You won't see the post on the Guild's Facebook page until the live stream starts around 6:30 on Thursday. See you there!
