On January 17th, art organizations from all over the River Region will gather together here at The Kelly so that novice and experienced artists alike can learn all about the art opportunities these organizations offer for artists like you. Artists from all over are invited to learn about the who’s, the what’s, and the where’s of art opportunities available within our River Region. Convenient and informative! Everyone is invited to come by this come-and-go summit with no pressure, no cost, and all the information!
