  • Agenda:
  • The meeting started at 10:10 with a very condensed meeting and Margaret shared what TFAS has done so far in 2021. She also shared what’s on our agenda for the rest of the year…and a bit beyond.  The rest of the time was our TFAS En Plein Air Event. TFAS En Plein Air Event – Not exactly a true En Plein Art event – but close enough for us!
  • Artists were invited to bring any portable medium they wanted – drawing, painting, photography, video, digital, sculpture, clay, jewelry, wood carving, textiles, etc.
  • We took some time to get to know each other better. Although the weather was nice, a group of us headed over to 20 North Gallery to view the artwork and chat.
  • We spent quality time together making valuable connections that come from sharing our artist journeys, concerns and stories while getting to know each other better!
