Art in Public Places (AIPP)

Until further notice, due to COVID-19, the art work that is up in the venues will continue to stay in place. The artists who are scheduled to hang work in the next few months will be kept informed by email. All town and city buildings are closed and the small businesses are probably closed as well. We’re all in a holding pattern. 
Stay safe!

Colleen Tucker and Monique Gray
