Since 2008
KAN has been meeting the needs of local visual artists by providing exhibition opportunities, technical expertise instruction, and the chance to network with like-minded creators. A co-operative is ABOUT artists and FOR artists, and we are thrilled this group came together to provide such a support system in Kawartha Lakes.
