Speed Art Meet & Greet
In the process of looking for a new house, I stumbled upon this great happening in Ferguson this Saturday. The Speed Art Meet & Greet is being billed as “a collaborative art experience and fabulous Saturday soiree”. In this one-night event designed for fun and fellowship, artists of all skill levels are invited to produce unique, collaborative works of art, moving from one station to the next as they meet new people and lend their special touch to at least ten masterpieces.
The event is being produced by the Northern Arts Council (NAC), a registered non-profit “comprised of artists, writers, educators, community organizers, hobbyists, musicians, and other creative minds, drawing its members from Ferguson, Florissant, Hazelwood, unincorporated St. Louis County, and everywhere in between.” The organization’s goals are to bring artists and others together for fun and community, to host ongoing exhibits with a variety of curators, and to offer studio space for working artists. All great causes, to be sure.
Shannon Howard, one of the founders of Old Ferguson West Neighbors is a member of NAC, along with Janice Nesser-Chu, an amazing artist and art educator, who I met through Mad Art Gallery. With these two go getters involved…I’m all over it people! You should be too.
