Virtual Tett Tuesday - Professional Development for Emerging Artists 

On the second Tuesday of every month from 7 PM - 9 PM we get together at the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning for an evening of creativity, conversation and connection. We have gone virtual! Join us online, in the comfort of your own home. Our goal is to stay connected, encourage at-home art-making, prioritize self-care, and to promote community wellness.

Join our facilitator for a live Zoom session, in the comfort of your own home. We invite you to grab an art or craft project and participate online. Share what you have been working on, see what others are creating, watch live demonstrations and participate in group discussions. 

Each session we discuss a variety of art-related topics including: how to photograph artwork, how to frame/mat artwork, where to shop for supplies (locally/online), skill and resource sharing, submitting applications and grants, how to prepare for markets, art education recommendations, and more! Do you have questions? Join the group and get involved! 

All art mediums welcome. Painting, knitting, drawing, collage, printmaking, embroidery, jewellery, sculpture, digital editing, mixed media, you name it.

FREE, Ages 18+. No registration required. All mediums & skill levels welcome.

Housekeeping Rules:

1. When you will arrive, everyone's microphones will be muted. This is to avoid distraction from the sounds coming from everyone's' homes. When you want to speak, please unmute yourself and talk. Just remember to put yourself back on mute again when you are done speaking.
 
2. The person who is speaking appears to have a green frame around them when they are speaking. Please also say your name before speaking, so people know who it is.
 
3. If multiple people want to speak at the same time, please use the "hand up" function so that we can make sure to see that you would like to intervene.
