Series 42 Presents a Tiny Modern Concert
featuring The Electives
$5-10 sliding scale, all are welcome
All Ages, BYO
Electives is an eclectic instrumental band from Central Pennsylvania who emerged from the backing band of A Private Press. The trio weaves musical influences ranging from Krautrock to Latin jazz, shoegaze to proto-punk, into a rock-and-roll tapestry that is detailed but not fussy.
We are so proud of our work with our favorite provider of healthy good things: Lemon Street Market. Humanely raised anything, non-GMO, Sustainable, fair-wage, good for humans – Lemon Street’s got you covered. Plus, owner Trish Haverstick thinks like us. She loves Lancaster and our local economy and does everything she can to help build a better community.
Our work with Lemon Street started with designing counter signs, menus and shelf-talkers (yes, that is an actual retail term). And one of our proudest bits of marketing was creating a Lemon Street Market Artbike for the store. We collaborated with Trish, Chris and Jason from the Common Wheel and students from PCA+D. Learn more about that project here.
Below are some photos of our ongoing design work for Lemon Street Market.
Remember when Lancaster was weird–way back when everything felt okay? You know what I mean. Well, you don’t have to put up with it any longer. Let’s make it weird again!!
Stop by Modern Art and get your very own MAKE LANCASTER WEIRD AGAIN! hat and show the world where you stand! They cost $25 and are worth every penny. Or you can buy one online right here.
We are open this week Monday thru Friday from 10-4
“We aim to mine the zaniest and most obscure songs from the early 20th century and record them for a new audience to underscore both the absurdity and importance of popular music in American history.”

Well, you may know that we make hand-painted signs, but did you know that we make hand-painted signs with hand-painted portraits painted on them? Here at Modern Art everything is possible (on a hand-painted sign).
These are some new additions that will soon grace the walls of The Common Wheel‘s pump house.
Summer is here and it is damn fine! Today inside the doors of Modern Art we are working on some new signs for The Common Wheel. Can an artist ask for anything better to call work? Well of course she can, but why? Get out outside today and revel in your short-sleeved self.
Painters, sculptors, poets, jugglers, anyone looking for a little time and space to create – this evening is for you. Bring your supplies and bring your booze. Libby & Jo will be on hand to offer helpful tips and tricks on art-making for those looking for some input on their projects.
Tuesday, June 14th / 7 – 9pm / $10 suggested donation
Space is limited! Please RSVP to weirdo@itsmodernart.com to let us know if you are coming.

Music comes second nature to these ladies. Donna Volles has spent years laying the bass groove for Lavacave. Songwriter Liz Fulmer, a regular on the local music scene, makes her Lancaster debut on drums. Singer/guitarist Kelly Buchanan has toured nationally with her powerhouse vocals and critically acclaimed songs – songs that have been covered by the likes of Sara Bareilles, Fountains of Wayne, Nada Surf and others.
The Dolls are finding new horizons in this lineup! Old songs, penned by Buchanan and Fulmer, are being reinvented and new songs are being added to the group’s riot grrrl grit-pop arsenal as well.
