    Are you a visual artist looking for feedback on your artwork from an active group of other artists?

    Discussions are facilitated by a local art instructor or fellow artist, and follow a prescribed format. Each artist will have a space to show and discuss their work and get feedback, within a time limited format, to allow opportunity for all participants. You’re encouraged to bring your actual work (rather than photos), keeping in mind transportation and protection of the work is the artist’s responsibility.
