Third Thursdays in the Library
On the third Thursday of every month at 7:00pm (with the exception of July, August and December) Arts on Mayne hosts a drop-in gathering at the library. It often takes the form of "Creative Critiques and Conversation" where artists bring work to share for creative feedback from the group. Sometimes a guest speaker or presentation is featured. All are welcome, including artists and art appreciators.
