Lancaster Galleries

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of John David Wissler. As an artist, conservator, teacher and friend, JD shared his love and knowledge of art with all. Those around him knew that his love of painting was matched only by his love of family, friends and finding a way to make someone laugh when they weren’t supposed to. He lives on forever in our memories, his paintings, and in every sunrise and sunset. JD, with all our love we will miss you.

To the friends, family, and patrons of the Lancaster Art Community,

It is time to announce that after 40 years of business, Lancaster Galleries will close our gallery doors and retire from the active art scene in Lancaster.

For four decades, Lancaster Galleries has offered fine art, quality framing and art restoration to the arts community. Under the vision and stewardship of our founders Mike and Joyce Heberlein, and with the support of our staff, artists and so many from our community, our mission has always been to establish Lancaster as a destination-arts center.

In the coming weeks, you will hear more about our final exhibit “Prelude” , opening Thursday November 21st and events scheduled for December.

Lancaster Galleries will remain open to the public through December 22nd but will stop accepting new framing orders after Oct 25th.

Please stop by to see the current exhibition "John David Wissler: A State of Being" until November 16th.

We hope you will join us as we celebrate 40 years of Lancaster Galleries and the arts environment we have helped to create.

It has been our honor and we … Thank You!
