Welcome to our virtual art exhibition.  We would like to thank the eight talented artists for participating in this online event. They are Irene Caboni, Donna Castelluccio, Carol-Lee Kantor, Lonna Kelly, Jeanne Plekon, Jeanette Rodriguez, Kaete Brittin Shaw, and Liliana Washburn. Their creativity is a gift to all who experience their artwork. Originally this program was to be presented live at Pawling Recreation and had to be restructured into virtual format due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
