Have you ever wondered about Halloween’s classic color combination of black and orange? Orange often symbolizes warmth and it is used to celebrate life and the bounty of harvest in the autumn season. Black represents the darkness at night, sadness and mourning which connect deeply to the holiday's origins. With the meanings entwined, it’s a fitting combo for the day! . . . .... . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancastercity #happyhalloween #halloween #color See more

Gallery wall highlight: This grouping of works finds it’s connection in texture and color. Seijo’s photographs are vibrant and rich in their saturation while Elliott’s sculpture stands as both a reflecting pool, and a window. Both bring awareness to their surfaces, calling attention to the topography of water along with its capacity for great depth. Paired together they create a stunning exploration of shifting color, natural movement, and the meeting of two very different la...ndscapes. @linaseijo @emily.elliottb . . . . . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancasterpa #lancastercity #lancastercounty #artgallery #galleryopening #artexhibition #Illustration #mixedmedia #photography #sculpture #art #artwork #artist #TidalPull #EmilyElliott #Seijo See more

When we were dreaming up curio, we wanted to create a space that was different and one we had never stepped foot into before. Combining things we loved made perfect sense to us; an art gallery to display meaningful exhibitions, a retail space filled with materials that excite us and a workshop space to bring community together and share ideas. Thank you for believing in our wild idea to be a unique experience and supporting us along the way! . . . .... . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancastercity #artgallery # smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner See more

Today we celebrate the creator of the Caped Crusader, Bob Kane, who would be 105 years old. Born in 1915, Kane had an illustrious career in the golden age of comic books. In 1939 he would first envision The Batman. He and fellow comic writer Bill Finger worked through multiple versions of the hero before landing on his iconic look. Early inspiration for the Dark Knight came from multiple existing artforms, including Leonardo Da Vinci's batlike flying machine. Thanks to Kane..., we have one the most recognizable superheroes who showed you didn't need superpowers to make a difference in the world. . . . . . . #Happybirthday #BobKane #Batman #arthistory #comicbooks #inspiration #artisttoknow See more

We’ve been feeling the need for more space here in the shop. Adding a new few shelves and retrofitting an existing fixture will give us the ability to spread out a bit and make room for the new products we’re adding! . . . .... . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancasterpa #lancastercity #shoplocallancaster #shopsmalllancaster See more

The Posca 1MR paint markers have a fine point pen nib which is an excellent tool for line and detail work as well as writing. With the ink being acrylic based, you can use them on a variety of surfaces and even on different tones of paper. Personally we are loving the white when we write on our black envelopes for outgoing orders. Check out the range of colors to choose from in open stock! . . . .... . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancasterpa #lancastercity #shoplocallancaster #shopsmalllancaster #posca #poscapaintpen #poscapaintmarker See more

A new batch of Beam Paints will be arriving soon and we can hardly wait to restock with palettes and individual paintstones!

We love Beam Paints and their mission, thank you for supporting both of our small businesses . . . .... . . #curiolancaster #downtownlancaster #lancasterpa #lancastercity #shoplocallancaster #shopsmalllancaster #beampaints #indengeousartist #indengeousmade See more
