Call for Artwork: 2026 Farmers Market!

See your art on the Market House poster!

The Meadville Market House seeks submissions for our annual, artist-designed poster promoting the outdoor farmers market. Designs should convey and celebrate the mission of the farmers market, which is to support local growers while providing the community access to fresh, local food. View our website to read more about the Market House’s mission and history.

The Market House will include an artist profile on their social media to celebrate the unveiling of the design, and the selected artist receives $500.

Main Street Matters

The historic Main Streets and downtowns of northwestern Pennsylvania are being restored, thanks to support from the Shapiro-Davis Administration, which is providing more than $1 million in state funding for eight projects in Crawford, Erie and Warren counties.

"Pennsylvania's historic Main Streets and downtowns are part of what makes the Commonwealth a great place to live, work and visit, said Lt. Gov. Austin Davis. "Unfortunately, many of them have been neglected for far too long, but with strategic investments, like the ones we're making in Meadville and Titusville, they can be restored to their former glory for generations to come."

Davis stopped by Meadville's historic Market House today and took a walking tour of the downtown with Mayor Jaime Kinder and Crawford County Commissioner Christopher Seeley.

The city of Meadville is receiving $560,027 in Main Street Matters funding to complete structural repairs and a roof replacement at the city’s historic Market House. In addition, the Meadville Community Revitalization Corporation is receiving a $16,875 Main Street Matters planning grant for a potential affordable housing project in the downtown.

“We’re deeply grateful to the Shapiro/Davis administration for supporting our small community and investing in our shared vision – a community shaped by the people who live here,” said Mayor Jaime Kinder. “These Main Street Matters grants are key pieces of a larger puzzle, helping us build a future rooted in sustainability, quality of life and joy right here in Meadville.”
