Plein Air Painters of Pagosa
Landscape painters, who work in any medium, are invited to join the Plein Air Painters of Pagosa (PAPP).  Inspired by the long tradition of artists meeting and painting together, PAPP members paint regularly in a friendly atmosphere, supporting and encouraging each other's efforts - and have a lot of fun in the process!  Artists at any level are welcome.

The PAPP meets on the first Wednesday of each month, from 10 am until after lunch, at various locations in the Pagosa area. Meet at 10 am - bring your lunch - and a friend if you know anyone interested! For more information, please contact Jean Smith at  264-6647.
