Open Studio Tour

Every summer the WCAA organizes a group of artists to open their studios to the public and display their work. This is a great way to meet and observe talented local artists. A brouchure is published outlining the artists, their work, and directions to their studios. Hundreds of people converge on Wayne County every summer to meet these local artists.

Writer's Conference

In early fall the WCAA sponsors a Writer's Conference where several notable published writers talk about their writing and are available to meet with attendees.

Life Drawing Classes

Sessions are held the first Thursday of every month at WCAA artist Joan Hill’s studio in Bethany, PA.

Writer's Workshops

WCAA offers a monthly writing and creativity circle. Whether creating poetry, writing a novel, or illustrating a children's book, participants can share what they have been working on with the group and explore how to achieve a sense of balance in their writing. Story starters and writing exercises will round out the session. All are welcome at any level. What makes the workshop exciting is that we are always learning something new from one another.

Meetings are held on the fourth Saturday of each month from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the new WCAA office.

Cinema Events

WCAA’s Sunday Night Cinema is the Hollywood alternative, bringing Wayne County the best in classic, foreign, and independent films.

Films run in the spring and fall.

Roots and Rhythms

Our goal is to create an annual music and arts event in Honesdale that will attract an increasing number of both local residents and tourists, and to expand the event each year. In accomplishing this, we hope to bring benefit to both the business community and our local residents.

Last year, the festival brought approximately 5000 music & art lovers to Honesdale. This year’s event will be bigger and better!
