Shut Up & Paint is a free weekly group for painters of all skill levels. We meet on several weekdays, and some Sundays. We are a creative support group, not a critique group :)
We welcome all forms of creativity, such as painting, sculpting, writing, and photography. During meetings, we encourage you to commit 60 minutes to your own creativity, with no pressure to succeed.
We also request no unsolicited advice, and sensitivity towards others is appreciated.
LGBTQ+ are welcome. You can contribute to the group's Meetup fees if you wish, either with Pledge or at https://ko-fi.com/shutupandpaint
