The Format of the South Calgary Artist Network

The Artist Network is informal and all encompassing.  We encourage you to bring business cards and pen and paper.  If you want to stay in contact with someone, or jot down information that you learned - its all up to you.   There are no minutes being taken.

If you have information that you would like to share on the blog, just send it to me - a recipe for a great homemade clay? an organization that the members showed interest in?   I am happy to post it on the blog - just send it to me at cgsandhurst@shaw.ca with SCAN in the subject.

I just learned Dreamweaver this week and there will be a website in the upcoming months.

If you want to keep in touch and be emailed reminders of meetings, then email me at cgsandhurst@shaw.ca with SCAN in the subject.  I will not share anyone's email and will send out blind cc reminders.  The next meeting is April 19th 6:30-8:30.

We want to keep the network informal and easy an opportunity to make new friends and an incubator for cross pollination of artists at all levels and disciplines.  Make a friend, get a great idea, brainstorm a solution, you never know what will happen at the South Calgary Artist Network.

The tea and coffee usually get thrown out, so we are just having water provided at the next meeting - if you are a coffee or tea drinker - let me know and we will have it ready for you ;)
