FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: So what's this Burlington Artist Meet-up thing all about?

Q. What's gonna happen at the meet-up?

A. The meet-up is informal. People will arrive around 6:30PM. Around 7PM, we get going on art critiques. Bring a piece of art to show. There will be coffee and cookies. If you have something to promote, you will be invited to do so. We will have a pile of gallery cards for people to take. If you are working on a project and need some help, come and talk about it. If you're wondering where you can exhibit your work, come and ask.
