The P.A.G. has a number of exciting programs to serve its members and achieve its goals. Several new ambitious programs and initiatives are also planned for the coming months. Following are a list of current programs already running:

• P.A.G. Web Site - On the www.PolarArtists.com website, you will find Polar Art by leading international artists. This website provides information about international polar artists, a gallery of their work, updates about polar science related to IPY, lists of artists and scientists available for workshops, and a Teacher’s Corner. This website is linked to the International IPY website and two artists per week will be featured on the IPY site during International Polar Year, providing more opportunity for exposure for the artist and their work and vision.
   
• P.A.G. Polar Awareness Award - We have created a monthly award to honour members who, in addition to exhibiting exceptional artistic talent, are making extraordinary contributions to promoting awareness of the polar regions.
   
• Polar Travel - In partnership with IPY and Arctic Quest, we are planning a voyage aboard an ice-breaker in 2008. We will have the opportunity for up to 100 artists and scientists from circumpolar countries to take the following voyage:
  2008 ARCTIC QUEST, POLAR ARTISTS GROUP, & IPY:
  Voyage of Discovery
  Be part of history with POLAR ARTISTS GROUP artists and IPY scientists as they follow in the footsteps of great artists and explorers of the past and create new footsteps for the future. We will visit the first site of International Polar Year at Fort Conger (1882) where we will learn how climate change has affected our planet. In the true history of Arctic exploration, artists will be encouraged to sketch and paint along the route. Experience what attracted Canada’s famous Group of Seven artists to the High Arctic, as you stand in the exact spot that Lawren Harris stood in 1930 as he painted Bylot Island. You will also have the opportunity to participate in building a cairn in memory of Dr. Maurice Haycock on Alexandra Fjord next to the cairn he built commemorating the furtherest north point that his painting partner and family friend Canadian Group of Seven artist A.Y. Jackson painted. All artists on this voyage will be given an official journal/sketchbook and invited to participate in a juried exhibition following the voyage.
