Not an artist? Not a problem. United in the Arts wants to hear from community members, too. Tell us what you think about Clarion County art events and performances. Are there enough opportunities to enjoy the arts locally? Can you locate talent for your own business, gatherings, and events? Are you able to connect with artists to make purchases outside vendor shows? Would you like to see more performances, displays, shows, etc.? Or maybe you have an idea we haven’t even thought of yet.
Are you an artist, photographer, musician, dancer, woodworker, writer, potter, or someone involved with other types of art?
United of Clarion County has created United in the Arts – a committee comprised of artists and art lovers from Clarion County.
And we want to hear from you!
