📆New season schedule

Our spring session carries us to the last day of April. Our only day off will be April 15, which will most likely be our plein air day. And as always, we greatly appreciate any donations! Donations go directly to rent, which helps us keep meetings free for folks who otherwise couldn’t attend. Thank you to everyone who helped keep us running these past two years!
