  Help Create a Pictorial History 

Sharon Arts Center  

Sharon Art Center, Peterborough

 

While not an event, the Sharon Arts Center is looking for help connecting with its past:  We are looking to create a pictorial history of Sharon Arts starting from the beginning - 1946. If you have photos in your personal collections that might augment this album, please either (1) drop off the originals at Sharon and we'll get them back to you, or (2) scan and send the images to [email protected]. Please include any information that can help identify people, dates, etc.
