TINY ART GALLERIES [T.A.G.s]
Have you ever wanted to visit a fancy museum, pottery studio or print shop but haven’t had the time or resources? Then you’ll love our newest public art project! Tiny Art Galleries (TAGs) are accessible miniature versions of these spaces featuring art by local residents, students, community members and professional artists from far and wide. Here’s where you can find them and what they are all about. Be sure to stop by all three during your next visit to Vermilion.
