Peggy Cotton
 
Peggy Cotton is a skilled fine artist with 20+ years experience who feels personally connected to creating oil paintings of subjects in nature that resonate with her love of life. In addition to oil painting, she creates pen & ink works, graphic art, logo designs, photographs, and greeting card art. Peggy now devotes her time to painting works that play with light, capture mood, and demonstrate energy as is shown in her still life compositions, landscapes, water, clouds, and skies.

Outdoor exhibit and sale at South Shore Center ~ Saturday, August 5 

Read more...
The Frank Bette Plein Air Paintout Team is looking for people to host one (or more) artists during the Frank Bette Plein Air Paintout  Monday, July 30 – Friday, August 4, 2018. This is an exciting way to get to know the artists and see another side of the Paintout. Past Home Hosts have found this a very rewarding expeience.

If you have a guest room available and a sense of adventure, please consider housing a plein air artist this year or perhaps you have a neighbor, co-worker or family member who is in a position to help out.  For more details or any questions,  contact us at:
PAPOHousing.

Please Help with Our Electrical Upgrade

As a non-profit, volunteer-driven art center, funding is often very tight for us. We also need to  face the realities of operating out of an 1898 Victorian building that requires frequent upgrading and maintenance. Our goal today is to raise $8500 to overhaul and upgrade our second floor electrical service (currently only 50 amp) and modify and install new classroom lighting. This will allow us to increase our class offerings and art group meeting space availability which in turn will increase our cash flow.
