OLUMBUS – Americans for the Arts announced this week that it will include Golden Artist Colors in a list of the “10 Best Companies Supporting the Arts in America.”

According to Victoria Kappel, executive director of the Chenango County Council of the Arts, “The Chenango County Council of the Arts is pleased and proud that Golden Artist Colors calls Chenango County home.
