Gathering Series - Introduction of Gatherings and Showing your Art

AGP has been hosting gatherings since 2013, with a small group of artists, we meet to go over the intended topic and show our work. Now we are bringing our gathering to the blog. Here you will be able to read past gathering topics and get the information that was provided at the time.

Our first gathering was about showing your art, as in, where to show your art. Most artists create with their time and finding places to show can be difficult, approaching places can be unnerving.  With this gathering, we mostly shared places to go, many of the artists had found success at local places. Below is a list of places one can try.  There are always more and all it takes, is a hello to the owner or manager and a simple question, "Can I show my art to you?"
