Priority spots will be given to full session ticket holders, so get your tickets in advance to secure a spot. There will also be plenty of room for drop-ins, and this is definitely open to all skill levels. Bring your materials of choice – drawing supplies or paints, its up to you. Come for the good music and the great people!
the business of art series

The Business of Art
Bi-monthly series to be announced soon.
We had a great opening panel discussion of this series called The Business of Art a couple months ago. It showed us that there is a real need among artists who are ready to grow their art practice to get together and hear from the experts. We are still crafting the best experience for the community, and partnering with the best experts to offer the most insightful conversations. The series will launch in the fall, so stay tuned!
