Since 1994, CAMIT members have participated in arts trips to foreign and domestic cities. Private collections, backstage visits, “hardhat” tours, and convivial meals are highlights of every trip, but perhaps the most treasured parts of each excursion are the friendships made and sustained between CAMIT members.
Recent destinations include the Netherlands, San Francisco, Western Massachusetts, and Venice, Italy.
