Shut Up & Paint is a free weekly group for painters of all skill levels. We meet four times a week: Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. You can attend any or all of the sessions. 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
Our group gallery can be seen at Shut Up and Paint Gallery. (Past galleries can be seen at Meet Create Show.)
If you want to share any piece you worked on during a Shut Up and Paint session, email an image of your piece to Charlotte at **charlotte.tryfan@gmail.com**
--"Deadline": The last day of each month. You can submit your work at any time during the month; Charlotte will post that month's submissions to the gallery.
-- Pieces should be something you worked on during a Shut Up/Paint session.
--More than one piece is fine.
--You retain all rights; however, the blog is accessible by the public, so you might want to watermark your work.
--Include the following information in the message of the email:
- your name as you would like it to appear
- title (no untitled submissions please -- get creative with the naming)
- date if other than the default month
- material or medium
- dimensions
- note, if desired, about the creation or significance of the piece
- your media handle if you choose
