The Artists Group

History

Established in 2005.

The Artists Group was started as a result of The Art of Paleontology, a two day event to raise money for The Hicksville Gregory Museum, which featured artists, craftspeople and musicians joining together with the people of the community in an interactive celebration of all the arts. As we watched children and adults alike stare in amazement as 15 artists created beauty in front of their eyes, we realized that if you can stimulate these people then all of the above mentioned institutions would benefit. Our founders, Debra Ann Kasimakis and Robert Goida, have over 30 years of experience in the world of art and performance. Debra Ann Kasimakis has been a professional artist with sales of over 3000 original artworks, and is the owner of Pandagraphics Design Studios located in Hicksville.
