Nestled in the heart of Lancaster, PA, the Demuth Foundation invites you to explore the richness of visual arts through two distinctive museums: the Demuth Museum and the Lancaster Museum of Art. As a nonprofit organization, we strive to foster creativity, celebrate artistic heritage, and provide platforms for budding and established artists alike.
At the core of the Demuth Foundation lies a commitment to preserving the legacy of Charles Demuth—a groundbreaking artist whose roots are firmly planted in Lancaster—while inspiring contemporary creatives. Through engaging exhibitions, educational programs, and community events, we aim to connect people of all backgrounds with the transformative power of visual arts.
In 2014, the Demuth Museum and Lancaster Museum of Art merged under one mission: to elevate the visual arts in Lancaster. While each museum maintains its unique identity, their collaborative efforts ensure diverse, dynamic experiences for visitors. The Demuth Museum emphasizes Charles Demuth’s legacy, while the Lancaster Museum of Art highlights community-driven exhibitions.
