Beloveds,
I’m so excited to let you know…drumroll…ASG is back! I launched ASG - Artist Support Group one year ago with good feedback only to immediately go into a one year hiatus. Life is funny like that. But important things stick, even if we have to wait. I still believe art, and artists supporting one another are as important as ever. And because of this ASG is back!

We are getting back into the swing of things with an ASG meeting next week:
This coming Wednesday 7/15 4-5:30pm PST
Zoom link will be provided after RSVP.
I can't wait to hear what you all have been up to!
August and September meetings will be on the weekend. Please feel free to begin to give feedback for a good time for you by replying to this email.

Want to learn or remind yourself what ASG is about? Then read on.
The newly formed ASG exists to help make the world a better, healthier, more beautiful, healed place by helping artists on their journey.
This group aids in the mental and emotional work required to show up authentically and consistently to the creative acts we feel called to.
We believe that art is for all.
We believe we are all artists, regardless of how we earn our living.
We believe that we are better when art is made and shared.
We believe that journeying to utilize your artistic capacity in your life is brave, vulnerable, powerful, and rewarding work.
We believe we are better together.
This space exists to practice showing up as the authentic artist you are with others who are doing the same and to hold space for and encourage one another on this journey.
--
During meetings, we will share about our experience of being an artist and practice sharing our art in a supportive setting.
This is not a place for critique, performing, but rather for solidarity, authentic practice, and encouragement.
--
To sustain this work, donations are invited up to $30 per meeting, but none is required.
--
At this time, meetings occur monthly at a time that is suitable for the majority of the group members.
Want to not miss out on ASG meet-ups? Then make sure to sign up for the email list.

With much anticipation and gratitude! May you always see the blessing!
