Art Is...our sponsors

With about 26 days to go until Art Is...You 2008, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank those who have supported us in our endeavours to create a wonderful retreat on the east coast for artists to enjoy. We have a superb faculty of teachers and we have an amazing cast of attendees who are going to be spoilt because of these companies.
