Photo of Pat Klinefelter and some “budding” artists during the sip and paint event during the Moose Festival in Canaan in 2024. Over 15 participants created a painting that they took home with them. The event was sponsored by the Connecticut River Artisan Group (CRAG) and the Time Out Tavern in Canaan.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Tillotson North Country Foundation, the Connecticut River Artisan Group CRAG) was able to offer a summer art camp to 12 students at the Pittsburg elementary school from 9 a.m. to noon from June 16, 2025 to June 27, 2025. Tammy Jeralds, the art teacher in Pittsburg, did a superb job of exposing the students to different art forms (sketching, painting, sculptures, and exploratory art). Based on feedback from the students, the camp was highly successful as it gave them the opportunity to try different mediums.
