A MESSAGE FROM MEMBER & GUILD PRESIDENT, Andrew Kusmin
May 27, 2009
Dear Friends, Students, and Clients:
    I am writing to share with you the news that I am returning to my original gallery/studio at One North Green Street – less than 3/10 of a mile south of our current location – at the corner of North Green and Sandwich Streets with free parking behind the Gallery.
    The smaller, more manageable Gallery space will allow me to spend more time at my passion, producing art while expanding my teaching and working with other painters.
    Also, as the Plymouth Center for the Arts continues to evolve, I look forward to being able to again dedicate time to its development.
     The current economic climate presented the opportunity to rethink my priorities.  This has resulted in a positive move that will allow me to  maintain the Kusmin Art Studio/Gallery and grow as an artist.
