Art on the Trail

Creativity that Connects Us

The trail’s art installations will reflect the people, history, and natural beauty of our community—transforming each stop along the Blue Green Connector into a space for reflection, connection, and joy.

Artworks will be permanently installed along the Blue Green Connector, an ADA-accessible 3.5 mile trail system and environmental restoration project in Lancaster PA. This project is expected to be completed in stages between 2025-2028.  

The Call for Art RFQ submission period has now closed. Thank you to all the artists and creators who shared their vision for the Blue Green Connector Trail! The art along the trail will help celebrate our community, connect people with nature, and bring creativity to the journey.

If you have questions or would like to be involved with the Trail Arts Program in the future, please contact us!

Inspiration Board

Get inspired and let your imagination soar! These images are meant to spark ideas and show the spirit of the trail — not a preview of what you’ll see when you visit. The final art will be as unique as our community, reflecting nature, renewal, and creativity in a way that’s all its own.
