Illustrator Meet-ups are usually on the Third Thursday September through May (None in December) from 7-9:30 p.m. - Nov 21 – There is an exhibit by Brian Kesinger, illustrator, sculptor and animator. A request for a docent tour has been submitted, but since they usually aren’t there late it may not be possible. Bring your sketchpad, and pencils too. It's a great opportunity to sketch from an accomplished artist work.
