Virtual Art Club via Zoom

Featuring artist, Allison Walsh

Tue, Aug 10 | 1 pm

Join us for virtual Art Club! Art Club is a monthly meeting of people who love art. Each month we hear about a different artist or topic. We encourage artists to come talk about their own work, a style they love, or another artist they admire. Enjoy a casual discussion with PowerPoint slides. Participants are encouraged, though not required, to ask questions and discuss pieces of art presented.

This month, artist Allison Walsh will be presenting their own work while you enjoy coffee and treats at your home.
