Mt. Gretna Art Walk

While there are many different styles of art, everyone has their personal preference of what makes them smile. Some people enjoy a simple watercolor, a wooden bowl, or antiques similar to the ones displayed at Adamstown Inns & Cottages, a luxury bed and breakfast. I always enjoy a nice photograph of nature, or a home that has an architectural flair. So it’s no surprise to hear that I enjoy the town of Mt. Gretna and their Annual Art Walk


.

Walking through the cottages and small houses of Mt. Gretna always reminds me of beach houses, or country homes. It’s difficult to describe the intricacies of Mt. Gretna, so I encourage you to visit and see for yourself!

While a stroll through the shaded community of Mt. Gretna is a treat, every August, they invite hundreds of artists to display their work during the Annual Art Walk. This year, August 20-21, artists of all types will be sharing their love of art. Whether you enjoy oils, pottery, glass, jewelery, photographs, wood, or watercolors, you’ll find pieces that speak to you.

In addition to the arts, there will be live music from jazz and pop artists, as well as strolling entertainers. There will be food available, or you can visit a nearby restaurant. I highly recommend the Jigger Shop for some ice cream!

After enjoying the art, return to the Amethyst Inn and relax on the porch while enjoying the Victorian architecture of the inn, or in your private jacuzzi. The luxurious stay at a Lancaster County bed and breakfast, paired with the Mt. Gretna art walk, will make you feel like you’re floating on clouds the entire weekend!

Mt. Gretna Art Show

So much to do, yet so little summer left to do it all. It seems like everyone wants to get as much in as they can before all the kids go back to school. One of those annual events that you do not want to miss before the summer ends is the outdoor art show in Mt. Gretna on August 15 and 16. Last year Tom and Wanda attended the outdoor art show and enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere in lovely Mt. Gretna as well as the fantastic presentations by the artists. The art show hosts about 285 different artists and welcomes into their community some 20,000 visitors. The Mt. Gretna outdoor art show has captivated art lovers for 33 years. From its genesis of local resident artists simply desiring to display their work to its current form of hundreds of artists showing off their pieces to thousands of art enthusiasts. Mt. Gretna also offers an array of various other activities such as canoing, kayaking, swimming, biking, hiking, the Gretna theatre, and lots of great food and ice cream. So if you are thinking of squeezing one more thing into your busy schedule before school perhaps you would like a relaxing stay at the Adamstown Inns and Cottages and to browse the Mt. Gretna outdoor Art show.
