To access the group, I will ask participants to briefly show their face before admission, as we have recently experienced a high number of Zoom bombers and disruptions.
We will cover one ARTIST per week.

If you want, I can also make a shorter “one-paragraph version” for Meetup previews (some platforms only show the first lines).
