We have been working together on several initiatives over the years. The longest, begun 24 years ago, is the Pontiac Artists’ Studio Tour. This Tour is one of the biggest cultural tourism events in the area and continues to draw hundreds of visitors every year.
As well, the PAA coordinates the Pontiac School of the Arts and a full exhibition schedule at the Stone School Gallery, our Cultural Center in Portage-du-Fort.
