About us
Welcome! This group is part of the Art Verve Academy in Tucson, offering community, creativity, and encouragement. In addition to our broad catalog of art education, we wanted to create a supportive, informal space for locals at all levels of skill and enjoyment to gather and make art. Our meetups are free* and open to the public – usually at a coffee shop, restaurant, park, or popular Tucson location for the occasional field trip. Our people are encouraging and love to exchange ideas, tips, supplies, and techniques. Why draw at home when you can enjoy the social connection, inspiration, or personal accountability of an Art Verve meetup.
*While there is no charge to attend, we like to support local businesses such as Crave or Flower Child with our patronage. Entrance fees for our occasional field trips at locations like the zoo or botanical gardens are paid by the attendee.
