About Young at Art, LLC

Young at Art private art lessons began in the summer of 2018 out of my home. In 2021 with 30 students enrolled, it was time to expand and move into a storefront on Chestnut Street. By 2023 we had grown to almost 200 students with 5 additional instructors. That's when I purchased the current space at 117 E. Sixth Avenue and had it remodeled to better meet our needs. I am passionate about the benefits of art education and sharing my love of art with others. And as a Lancaster native, it is an honor to give back to the community. Thank you for supporting our small business!
