SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE MACGOWN ART RETREAT & STUDIO (MARS)

The MacGown Art Retreat and Studio (MARS) is steadily growing, and this growth would not be possible without help from various supporters and sponsors. This help has come in many forms ranging from stipends used to pay visiting resident artists to donations of reclaimed lumber used for building structures to art supplies and more. Thanks to all who have contributed in one way or another and others who may help in the future. Below is list of people who have contributed in some way or another, excluding people or groups who wish to remain annonymous. If I left someone out please let me know. I should mention that everyone who has bought art from me contributed indirectly, and I appreciate those purchases and what it has allowed me to do.
