If ever there was an art movement that begged to be replicated in Venango, it's got to be The Crucible.
The Crucible is an arts education center that fosters the collaboration of art, industry and community. Through training in the fine and industrial arts, The Crucible promotes creative expression, reuse of materials and innovative design while serving as an accessible arts venue for the public.

Hi Joann! - Sounds like we were, although I was there in 1994-95, which , now that I think about it was awhile ago too...
Pete-
I was thinking just Venango County - do you think it will get disqualified becuase it's not a city per se? I'd be fine with pushing the OC, since they're putting cash behind the arts revitalization movement.
