Your Choices

In Women Artists Connect, you can choose between:

• BUILD Your Studio Practice: This is a course you can sign up for and move through at your own pace. There are 8 Modules each one including 4-6 video lessons. Each Module ends with an Assignment. Do the Assignments! They're rich and will afford you many new perspectives and growth. Post your Assignments in the Community Share where you can get and give comments. Bi-weekly, one-hour webinar sessions will be available to connect with the other artists taking the course and also get your questions answered. 
• The Art Group: Once you've completed BUILD Your Studio Practice, you can apply to become part of The Art Group, a smaller group of artists who commit to supporting each other in bi-weekly gatherings over a full year, facilitated by Nancy Murphy Spicer, Artist Coach and the Host of this Community. 
• In the Future: There will be more options to come so stay tuned!
