About the Summit

On January 17th, we will host a great opportunity for novice and experienced artists alike!  Art organizations from all over the River Region will gather together in one location (here at The Kelly!) so that artists can learn about what art opportunities they provide to artists like you.  Artists from all over are invited to learn about 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!

We will also have guest speakers talk about art exhibitions and shows, fellowship opportunities, art programs and classes, and everything else an artist might want to know.
