About Rt15 ByWay of the Arts…
by Maggie Frank-Pascoe of the PCCA
Rt15 ByWay of the Arts is one of PA’s seven Artisan trails, which were created to utilize PA’s rural roadways as driving routes to guide visitors on artistic adventures. We partner with individual artists, arts destinations (art galleries, museums, retail art shops, etc.), bed and breakfasts, and unique eateries. We are currently working on filling in the gap between Perry and Lycoming counties in order to offer Rt15 ByWay visitors a full map of destinations. More information can be found on our website, Rt 15 Byways of the Arts.
