April 16-17 – Lancaster City Park
You can sign up to work a shift at the LPA booth by filling out the form (members only, login required). LPA members are invited to submit "framed/under glass/ready to hang" photos for display (and or/sale). Canvas full wrapped photos ok too. The larger the framed photo, the more eye catching they will be. Smaller items such as matted prints, books, or greeting cards sell well. If interested in displaying your work, please sign up on the website, so that we can start organizing for this big event, and make it an experience that's fun, as well as profitable. A minimum donation to LPA of 10% of any sales made would be greatly appreciated.
