A Bit of the Arts exists because this community shows up.

We have saved our most important Thank Yous for last: our volunteers who put in real time and labor, our supporters who believe in the work, and our partners at the Lansdowne Borough () who help foster the conditions for events like this to thrive.

From setup to breakdown, from artist hospitality to raffle support, from communications to crowd flow, Thank you to everyone who helped build a weekend that highlighted the best of Lansdowne.

We can't wait till next year!

Thank you to Aqua Essential Utilities () for supporting A Bit of the Arts and helping us uplift the creative small businesses who define Lansdowne’s character.

This year, we expanded our Student Exhibition to include works by over 200 students from 6 regional schools. We love seeing the talent that is being developed in the next generation!

A special thank you to Blick Art Materials () for supporting the student exhibition by offering gift certificates to the top four winning student works. Their prize support helped us shine a light on the next generation of creators and gave our young artists a real reason to feel proud of their work.

Participating schools included Ardmore Elementary (), Colwyn Elementary (), Delaware County Christian School () with their Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools participating, Lansdowne Friends School (), and Penn Wood High School (). Plus, we got to enjoy a pop-up performance from the Penn Wood Choir!

Investing in young talent matters, and partners like Blick help us show students that their creativity has value. We’re grateful for their commitment to making art accessible and encouraging future artists in our region.
