Starting in May, we will host 2 monthly activities: the first Thursday of the month will be a gathering in the Burlingham Barn with a focused discussion topic, and the third Thursday of the month will be a ‘paint out’ style gathering where artists can come to the park and make art together – parking for the ‘paint out’ days on third Thursdays will be in the overflow parking lot near the Weir Barn. Mark your calendars, upcoming dates include:

• Thursday April 18, 10:00 – 11:30 in Burlingham Barn – 2024 Kick-Off Gathering!
  Get reacquainted with your fellow artists and get updates for the year ahead. After a meet and greet discussion, the group will have the opportunity to get a peek into the Artist-in-Residence Studio!

  Sharing and Feedback on Work: Artists attending May's meeting should bring a work of art to share with the group. We will set up the classroom space with everyone's work around the room, allow time to mingle and view each others' work, then have a facilitated discussion to provide each other positive and constructive feedback.
