\"\"<\/a>Elizabethtown College alumna Morgan Popson \u201918 is adding to Lancaster City\u2019s vibrant art community with the recent opening of her downtown storefront Pop of Color Art – <\/span>a curated retail space that showcases local artists, makers, and small businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Popson, who majored in Psychology with a minor in Studio Art while at Etown, is the owner, primary artist, and friendly face behind the counter of the charming store located at 50 N. Queen St.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mission of Pop of Color Art is to be able to provide local artists\/makers\/curators with an affordable platform to sell and promote their art in a space that feels collaborative. Popson is also supporting new student artists by showcasing their work for free and allowing them to keep 100% of their sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPop of Color Art is unique because the entire space feels less like separate vendors and more like a collective effort between all of our sellers,\u201d explained Popson. \u201cThe space is completely curated and all the products have been chosen based on how well they fit into the store.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her chosen location for Pop of Color Art was an easy one to make. As a student at Etown, Popson gained a love for Lancaster City after countless trips into the downtown area with friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She credits the Art Department with helping to build her skills and learn new techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI felt incredibly supported by the faculty in the Elizabethtown College Art Department and gained a lot of confidence in my abilities,\u201d said Popson. \u201cOverall, my experiences at Etown helped me become independent and well-rounded.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
