NORWICH – The Chenango Arts Council, Norwich Business Improvement District, and the Norwich Rotary Club are pleased to announce the Chenango Public Arts Initiative (PAI), Summer 2015.

The PAI was created to present an inviting and welcoming image of our community as a destination place by bringing the arts to the public in everyday life. Public art enriches the areas where we live, work and play, thereby increasing business, encouraging tourism and reducing unsightly or vacant areas. The PAI will support and showcase local area talent and give artists greater exposure for their work.

Artwork will be on display in the Chenango Arts Council’s Mariea Brown and Raymond Loft Galleries from June 26 to August 28, 2015. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
