This year, Valentine’s Day weekend is for art lovers as GotArt! returns to JuxtaHub in Emmaus for another exciting evening. The event, a fundraiser for both Lehigh Art Alliance (LAA) and Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, features 80 stunning works of art donated by LAA members and other artists from throughout the region.

During GotArt!, everyone who purchases a ticket to the event is guaranteed to leave with an original piece of art valued at $350 or more. Artwork includes paintings, drawings, collages, ceramics and sculptures. Just two highlights for 2026 include a plein-air oil painting, in its original frame, completed in 1937 by LAA founder Garth Howland, as well as eight pieces from well-known abstract artist Richard Carlson.

Every ticket purchased includes one piece of art and event admission for up to two people. Tickets, which cost $165, are on sale now at HistoricBethlehem.org.

“Lehigh Art Alliance artists are truly putting their hearts into this year’s GotArt!,” said Lehigh Art Alliance President Elena Shackleton. “The pieces collected so far are fabulous and the sweetest gift we can give our dedicated patrons and art lovers.”

Doors for GotArt! open at 5 p.m. Feb. 13, with the art drawing starting at 6 p.m. The evening will also include complimentary food and beverages. A public preview of the works is set for Feb. 10 and 11 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at JuxtaHub, 375 S. 10th St., Emmaus. In addition, a proxy service will be available through LAA for those who cannot attend in person. For more information on GotArt!, visit HistoricBethlehem.org or call 610-882-0450.
