🖌️MoCCA meetup
MoCCA Arts Fest is this weekend, March 15-16 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC. Chris is going! If anyone would like to join Chris for a casual group visit (meaning meeting for the train, maybe getting a meal together), keep your eyes peeled for updates — we will finalize plans this Wednesday.
💻Mike’s design-focused demo
Mike does design work professionally and has kindly offered to demo professional art programs such as InDesign, Photoshop, etc. To make this demo more helpful, please let Mike or an admin know what you want to hear! We haven’t yet decided a date, but once we do, we will announce it so anyone who wants to attend can plan for it.

The final note about the anthology: once it is published, you are free to acquire and sell copies for yourselves. However, copies sold this way will be set at the same price for everyone to prevent undercutting.
📸Princeton Art Council’s Insta-Takeover
We will be recording snippets of our meetings for the Art Council’s Instagram. We will not film you if you do not want to be filmed. Additionally, if anyone is interested in doing the filming, feel free to speak up! This is a nice, low-stakes way of trying out videography.
👀Your projects!
