Stop. Look. Listen.

The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen Fine Craft Fair’s summer edition, now going on in Wilmington, Delaware, at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, has chosen a work by Lancaster artist Angela Shope — a pale green porcelain handbag — for its cover and posters for the event. The event starts today and runs through Sunday, July 27. The fair returns to Lancaster Nov. 8-9 at Manheim Township High School. A little closer to home: the Lititz Springs Outdoor Art Show, Saturday, July 26, in Lititz Springs Park, featuring over 200 artists and plenty of ducks. There’ll also be plenty of ducks at the annual Rubber Duckie Race at Lancaster County Park Sunday (details here). Over in Harrisburg, Market Square Concerts’ Summermusic 2008 series is focusing on Beethoven’s string quartets. The series, which started Wednesday, continues Saturday and Sunday. (Read what Dick Strawser has to say about the series here.) Saturday is also the last day to see “Passionate Vision: A Look at Collecting” at the Gallery dePaul and “The Home Front” at Living Light Gallery.
