Artist Activities

Third Thursday Group

The Third Thursday Group is a casual gathering of regional artists. As the name implies we meet on the third Thursday of every month at 4:00 pm. There are no formalities, no old business, new business, no president, or secretary. Dialogue is the order of the day. Some of the subjects over the past 2 years have included spirited discussions on, “Reproductions, is this commercialism?” “Realism Vs. Painterly”, why not take a photo? “Photography”, is it really art? Spontaneous presentations have been made, sharing experiences using new materials, tools and techniques.

The group was the brain child of MSAC staff to give artists the opportunity to socialize with other artists who share the same passions. They have evolved into a driving force at the center as new ideas for unique shows are inspired by their sometimes spirited discussions.

Come as you are, it’s free and all artists are welcome. Share a glass of wine and have some cheese and crackers. But foremost bring your thoughts and don’t be afraid to share them with us. See you on third Thursday.
