Fall Family Art Workshop

The Toronto Artist's Way Meetup Monthly Meetup

The purpose of the group, based on the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, is for people to meet and talk about their artistic challenges in any field (painting, writing, music etc.) and encourage each other to break their creative blocks and fulfill themselves in their art. If you find people who are sympathetic, you may want to form your own group, meeting regularly to explore the book and supporting each other in their artistic journeys. I have gone through 2 such clusters and can say that it is a very powerful experience. Why not come to a meeting and see for yourself?

FIGURE & FORM DUO WORKSHOP

Artists who create ( in person group meeting!)

Hi everyone, we will be having our Artists who create meetup group at the food court of Square One Mall, and we look forward to seeing everyone who can make it this coming Saturday, Oct 17th at 4 pm. This will be a very casual and fun moment to create, connect and engage in conversation as we work on our own art projects. I also look to having a theme for this session to ignite our creativity and give us something to go off of if we're starting from scratch. The theme is "What do you like most about making art?". I will be providing some art materials for those who need them, but of course, it's highly encouraged to bring your own. Here is the full address of the mall: 100 City Centre Dr, Mississauga ON L5B 2C9 We will be meeting near the A&W. Looking forward to seeing anyone who can make it.
