Artist Self Care Virtual Sharing Session (weekly)

We'd love to hear from artists, arts administrators, and art supporters about what they are doing to make it through this challenging period. We’ll be hosting a round table of folks sharing what gets them through the day. This is a place where all artists are welcome to come and share their victories, their challenges, and their struggles. We do ask that you come with a heart full of empathy and a desire to share love and joy with other artmakers. BYOB. Or Tea. Or whatever you'd like, it's after 5 o'clock!
