Notes

No prior knowledge of the topic is necessary - just curiosity, an interest in art, and an open mind. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow artists, creatives, and art lovers. Come for the conversation, stay for the inspiration, and leave with new insights (and maybe even a new friend!). Tea and cookies will be served.
