artists in the surrounding communities to enhance an appreciation and

understanding of the arts.?

The association welcomes as members any local and regional artists, or

non-artists, who support this mission and the organization?s purposes .

The purposes of the Association are:

To increase community appreciation of the arts

To encourage the production of creative work

To foster art activities and classes for persons of all ages

To provide studio space for area artists and a gallery for

exhibition and marketing of their artworks
