Artists Town Meetings

The Artists Foundation is co-sponsoring Artists Town Meetings across the Commonwealth in 2009.

All meetings are free and open to artists working in all disciplines (Visual, Dance, Music, Literary, Theater, etc.). The calendar of the meetings, listed below will be updated as meetings are added.
