A little about us briefly

​Built in 1876, SMALL STAR Art House's space has been a lumber company, a porn shop, an art gallery, and most recently two technology firms shared the space for the last decade. We thought it was time to bring it back into the cultural realm and help add some life to WeCo (West of Codorus). 
SMALL STAR is a unique art house proudly delivering independent, foreign language, and documentary films carefully curated for York.

SMALL STAR is a unique art house start-up in the age of the smart phone– an intimate arts space with artistic and thought-provoking films along side an art space representing more than 60 local artists.  We let you experience great films as special events in community with other similarly curious art fans.

We present feature-length independent, documentary, and foreign films at their release dates.  They are important, cutting-edge award winners that have earned significant critical acclaim.  No waiting.

We use a professional digital projector on a cinema screen with a surround sound system, for an immersive theater experience.  The theater is a an eclectic design with 26 disparate seating options, creating an intimate and comfortable experience.

Located in WeCo neighborhood of York (2) blocks west of the square on West Market Street, our screenings include casual meet and greet socials with beverages, locally made snacks, and art browsing in our gallery before the films.  

​Introductions and optional post-film Q&As  are led by experts and guest filmmakers at most screenings.

Be in the know

Our #1 goal is to build a following  of independent cinema fans as quickly as possible.  Please help us spread the word and join our community by joining our email list.  ​
