AAWS Member Monthly Meet-Ups

MONTHLY MEET UPS!

One of our primary focuses this year, among many, will be providing a space where members and non-
members alike can meet on a regular basis to gather and share information. A place to socialize, get to
know one another, do some networking and meet new people.
The third Sunday of each month, 1-4pm, Associated Artists will hold a gathering at the newly renovated
community space, located at Broad Branch Distillery, 756 Trade St. Food and drink will be available on
site for purchase. Our goal is to include an informative 15 minute talk on a particular art related topic at
each gathering.
Don’t forget to add this to your calendar.
Let’s meet up to share, inform and inspire each other!

Send us your news!

Monthly newsletters are a great way to keep the membership updated on what’s going on in our community. We’ve learned that our members are a wealth of knowledge and we can help spread the word! We will be working on getting a newsletter out to the membership every month and would like to include information you might have to share. For example, your accomplishments, exhibits, awards, events you know of that others may be interested in participating in, anything art related.
