PA Arts Experience
The PA Arts Experience makes it easy for you to journey through the cultural and artistic presentations of the area. Through "behind-the-scenes" tours at each destination, you can observe the creativity first-hand at workplaces and studios-either in renovated barns or reused buildings in small towns-of well-known artists, including painters, weavers, quilters, printmakers, potters, glassblowers, woodworkers and many other craftspeople.
The trail is separated into three regions along the Route 30/Route 113 corridor between York, PA and New Hope, PA: Lower Susquehanna River Valley, Brandywine/Schuylkill River Valley and the Lower Delaware Valley. The trail provides you with a vast selection of skilled artisans, and also presents a wide variety of local wineries, fine restaurants, antique shops, unique lodging accommodations, and other cultural and scenic destinations to discover along the way!
You can either create these art-oriented trails on your own or with the help of an exclusive concierge service. For more information on the artists and trails, visit www.paartsexperience.com!
