Thursday, May 21, 5:30 PM

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!
