No matter what, you can join us in this Artists for Artists supportive and conversational community.

No Charge/Donations Encouraged, Wednesdays at 7pm, Zoom Meeting-Link acquired upon registration
Artists often get really excited about what we are reading about or learning, but then have no one to gush about it with because we are usually one of the only creative minds around. Well, One For All is the community for you because if it’s one thing we love to do, its nerd out about what we are reading and learning about. In this book club we will focus on creative and arts subjects and have discussions on our chosen book every other week.

Apprentice Program

Have you always wanted to pursue a professional fine arts career, but never had the resources or opportunities? That’s why we are offering an apprentice artist program where you can learn all the skills you need from professional working artists. In a session, you will have a 3-hour foundations art studio course each week for one month, in addition to a 3-hour studio block each week so you can work on your studio project/”homework”. Each session is a Foundations Level Studio Class and you can take one or two each month. An opening group critique will start the class, followed by a lesson and demonstration, ending in studio work time with the instructor around for guidance.
Apprentice Art Classes begin in September. If you are interested in signing up, please fill out the pre-registration form.
