In July 2003 a group of local and regional artists and interested parties founded The Poultney Area Artists Guild, PAAG for short, with plans to sponsor arts events and shows locally. There have been two group shows and other events are planned, including critiques, community events, shows during regular town events and drawing sessions, and many other possibilities. The group is covered by the Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce and can receive tax deductible contributions to foster arts events and activities in the Poultney region. For information contact Ruth Hamilton 287-9141 or other PAAG members.
