Creative Art Conversations has been formed to facilitate connections between artists, especially those that have home studios. This peer learning group is for artist of all ages, backgrounds and mediums. We warmly invite artists to share knowledge and experiences in ways that are encouraging and inclusive. We currently plan to meet on a monthly basis. We ask that you bring in 2 pieces of recent work or current projects that are in process. We would like for you to share your creative process and information about the pieces as well as questions you may have to ask the group about next steps.

Please register early to reserve your spot to attend. Sign up here!
