The Community Arts Council would like to send out a big thank you to all the artists, community venues; AV Museum, Char’s Landing, Train Station, DRAW Gallery, Blue Fish Gallery, the many hosts, volunteers and the community for making this year’s Days with the Arts event a great success. Without the continuous support we wouldn’t be able to help support artists.
