Community Celebration: Lafayette Arts Open House

On Saturday, October 1, Lafayette College is throwing open its doors for a community-wide celebration of the arts. All events are free and open to the public.  

The Lafayette Arts Open House is a choose-your-own-adventure arts festival featuring performances, demonstrations, film screenings, and art exhibitions on College Hill and downtown on the Williams Arts Campus. Visitors of all ages can participate in hands-on art, music and writing activities.

This family-friendly event, which runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will include food trucks and a free arts shuttle providing hop-on, hop-off service throughout campus, along the Karl Stirner Arts Trail, and in town, including a stop near Easton’s Garlic Fest.

Lafayette is showcasing its artistic offerings and celebrating the expansion of the Williams Arts Campus with the opening of Buck Hall, which houses a cinema and black box theater. The expansion has increased the College’s space for the arts by almost 50 percent and adds to Easton’s growing cultural resources.
