JUNE 24, 2018 MINUTES
- Please attend the reception for the Pocono Arts Collage on June 21, 2018 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm. Following the reception will be a Panel Discussion on " Selling Your Artwork Through the Social Media.

- Discussion focused on what more the college can do to promote art and provide venues for artists to display their artwork. Suggestions were:
1. Provide monthly shows in other areas of campus, similar to our gallery exhibits program.
2. Make it more conducive to purchasing artwork by possibly providing the artists email or websites with their permission during exhibits.
3. An online gallery with artists images attached to the artists websites or contact information.
