"Reading Work"

Saturday, June 19, 2010

AAWS is offering the chance to come out of your studio and share work with fellow artists. If you're looking for critique, some suggestions, helpful questions or a little sharing of ideas, then come downtown for our new series called Reading Work.  The third gathering of Reading Work takes place from 10:30 until noon on Saturday morning, June 19th. Bring some work or bring your laptop, bring ideas, and, heck, since it's free, bring a friend.

Board members and artists Shawn Beard and Diana Greene will be on hand for round three of Reading Work.

We have a lot of great workshops, shows, and other events on the horizon at AAWS. To learn more about upcoming events, click here.
