SHOWS 


Our Nuit Blanche proposal for 2009 is due Feb 23rd. 

Brainstorming has begun!

Our goal is to show people (and help them appreciate) just how much work and practice goes into our craft. The idea of ’10 000 Hours’ has become a focus for our Nuit Blanche event this year. . This is a phrase coined by Daniel Levitin as the amount of time it takes for all artists (craftspeople, athletes, musicians, dancers etc.) to become ‘masters’ of their craft.

Join us in helping to celebrate this message. Get involved with Nuit Blanche today! - contact KATHRYN DIEROFF if you are interested in helping

FUNDRAISING 

This
is an ongoing challenge for any organization. Applying for grants and sponsorships and thinking of creative ways to raise money is essential. Volunteers with expertise in any of these areas would be most welcome!
Please come to our meeting on the 3rd Thursday of every month. 
88 Elm Grove Ave,  7pm.  Bring a friend!
