Membership Meetings are held monthly from Spetember to May. We take summers off.
An artist is asked to come and share how they do what they do. This past year a few of the speakers were Michelle Levian speaking on her art printing business and why gicelles can be a good idea for your art business, Jonah Graf spoke on his sculptures, Mark Hahn spoke on making art from found objects and Jane Zoble told us about her sculptures.
Every meeting is informative and the fellowship akes it fun as well.
Our May meeting is always a TAG business meeting and only open to TAG members as we vote on the next Board and and changes to our rules.
