Stories of AC | Artist Meet Up | Stories of Atlantic City kicked off our newest cycle of artist meetups with November's forum meeting a few weeks back.

For this meeting, our forum meeting members asked that we curate a space of art- and idea-sharing, so: Our December deep learning meeting will center your stories, how you arrived at your relationship to art, and where you and your community see you heading. You may bring a piece of art (any medium!) or email a photo or video of the art you'd like to share to this email with the subject "Showcase 12/14."
