A Little Extra Gratitude

ExtraGive is a day to celebrate generosity, and we’d love to celebrate with you!

Join friends and staff of Stroud Water Research Center for a relaxed evening of music, conversation, and community at West Art’s Art Bar in Lancaster.

We’re delighted to welcome back Mark and Jordan Rast, who have helped make our past ExtraGive gatherings such memorable evenings. Mark and Jordan are a father-son duo from Lancaster, Pa., specializing in Appalachian and bluegrass music. With years of experience between them, they offer a fresh take on traditional music through innovative songwriting.

Whether you’ve supported our work for years or are just getting to know us, we’d love to see you. Stop by, enjoy the music, say hello, and help us celebrate the people who make freshwater science, education, and watershed restoration possible.

West Art’s Art Bar will be open to the public, so everyone is welcome. No tickets are needed. RSVPs are optional but appreciated!

Can’t join us? You can celebrate ExtraGive by supporting the Stroud Center.

About West Art
West Art is a multi-purpose, ever-evolving community and cultural space housed within a historic church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Born from a fence-line conversation between two neighbors, Rufus and Josh, the project began with a simple idea: what if the building that once brought people together on Sundays could bring them together every day? Today, West Art houses an expanding constellation of creative and social experiences — part coffee bar, part concert hall, part community experiment. Programming spans live music, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, kids’ clubs, talks, yoga, and more. The space is animated by a network of artists, baristas, musicians, parents, designers, and neighbors who together bring this world to life.
