    Agitator Studio Sundays / DEMO-Maker Sessions

    Use the gallery as an OPEN WORKSPACE; bring your art (make new work or continue projects from previous weeks).  Every session begins with a DEMO provided by a lead artist (an Agitator Member or guest artist) that will focus on a specific art material or process. Then work on your art, ask questions, give & receive feedback. This is a great opportunity to workshop your ideas and get input as you develop existing or new pieces.
