Pike County Arts & Crafts (PCAC), headquartered in Milford, Pennsylvania, is the oldest (established 1950) and largest (200 members) arts education organization in northeastern Pennsylvania. Headquartered in the Milford Boro Hall, the group holds regularly scheduled classes as well as seminars taught by master artists and crafters. PCAC was recently chosen by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts as winner of the 2007 Pennsylvania State "Creative Community Award" (). The goals of PCAC are to encourage and inspire local artists to create the best art they can and to help the larger community to see this art, value it, and learn from it. Its mission is: (1) to help artists of all ages to learn, teach, and exhibit their work; (2) to encourage young artists in particular; (3) to enhance the image of Pike County as an arts community. ==Membership and Support== A nonprofit organization, PCAC is supported by member dues, donations, and grants from the Pocono Arts Council of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pike County Commissioners. The Board of Directors meets on the third Thursday of each month. The executive director is Elizabeth Murphy. Associate Director is Tauni Ruvolis. Show directors are James Campistrous and Ellen Cabaniss Bawcom. About two-thirds of PCAC's artist-members earn their livelihoods as professional artists or crafters. Non-artist members join the group as "friends of the arts," "arts associates," or "community sponsors." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pike County Arts and Crafts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
