Support Your Community
Welcome to the Community Events page of our website where you can find more opportunities to get inspired and strengthen your local art & design community at the same time. If you know of any relevant events coming up that should be on this list, please send us the info and a link to the event/website and we'll do our best to get the word out. Adding events does time and we're an all volunteer organization, so please give us at least one weeks notice of the event – two or three would be great.
