45 - joining in

Are you a course junkie, a joiner-in, a membership lover, have a love of alllll communities? This time we work out what works - Karen, as you’d maybe guess, is a considered member of groups, is the founder of an arts trail which is in its 10th year and offers sell out in-person workshops. Conversely Gaynor joins everything, but has a reluctance to engage fully…  Which are you? Do you value community? Do you WANT community? One thing is for sure artists by nature are very giving and generous.  Episode Links:  Image credit to Susan Holt Simpson on Unsplash.com Workshops and courses:  Intuitive Abstract Art with Gina Belford Karen George Art workshops https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/workshops-karen-george-art-731236.html Róisín O’Farrell https://roisinofarrell.com Creative Visionary Program https://www.art2life.com  Oil and Cold Wax Academy https://coldwaxacademy.com United Artspace Visual Artist Association Artist Info Company Alice Sheridan Connected Artists Louise Fletcher Art Tribe Cam Valley Arts Trail Group 44AD Associate Members Fail like an artist podcast https://instagram.com/faillikeanartist?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Mary Price @artistintheshed The100DayProject.org https://www.the100dayproject.org #100dayproject.    @dothe100dayproject About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painty life!
