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 Anderson Elder Law () for supporting A Bit of the Arts this year. Their commitment to elder care, long-term planning, and dignity in aging aligns with the reality of our creative community.

A Bit of the Arts is shaped by many generations. We are thankful for Linda Anderson Law Firm’s support, which helps us maintain an environment where artists, vendors, and neighbors of every age feel valued and included.

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.

With the festival landing on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, Aqua’s support helped us create a space where our local creators could thrive during one of the most important shopping weekends of the year.

Every dollar spent locally strengthens our human economy. Aqua’s partnership helped make that possible.

We’re grateful to PECO () for helping make A Bit of the Arts possible. Their support allowed us to create a gathering space that brought neighbors, artists, and visitors together during a busy holiday weekend.

Events like this remind us how important it is to create moments of connection — to slow down, meet the people who make this community special, and share in something creative and local.

Thank you, PECO, for investing in community connection.

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.
