"Artists in Action," 2010 

"Artists in Action"...is the demonstration series that THE VILLAGE ARTISANS GALLERY sponsors each year starting in the late fall through the early spring of the following year.  The "Artist in Action" for the afternoon sets up a temporary studio in the gallery where your are invited to be informed and entertained while watching the artist at work. It's a wonderful opportunity to talk to the artist in person and see first-hand how their work is created. All of the demonstrations take place on selected Saturday afternoons from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm, unless otherwise indicated.

This schedule is subject to change, please call to verify.
