NETT

motivated visual artists to stop by and network, further their skills and opportunities, or simply hang out. Our goal is to also have a book (and eventually a network online) of local artists and their skills to share. We will also plan some group outings to local gallery openings (it's more fun to go with people you know!) as well as field trips to other cities. It is our goal to move forward the careers of promising artists - we want to get the talent into galleries, and we will work hard with you to make it happen! We will be offering monthly challenges to our members - something to give incentive for practice and completing new pieces. For those who meet the challenge, rewards and publicity will be given. We will have events and outings in addition to our monthly meetings, as well as open studio dates twice a month. To begin with, our first meetings will be an open door for artists to come in and tell us what they want out of the group. Snacks (bring some, too, please!) and beverages (bring some if you can!) will be provided. As we grow, we will have some materials (easels, still-life objects, etc.) But for now, bring whatever you want to show off and work on! Drop in and help make this group exactly what Tacoma needs! Search for NETT on Facebook and "Like" it for updates and to see how we grow! (We are looking to keep this event professional. Artists 18 and under allowed to join on a case-by-case basis. Please email or message for more info)
