Each session begins with an inspiring, peer-led presentation from fellow creatives, covering everything from art history to contemporary techniques. Then the focus shifts to connection.

Each meeting will be held the second Friday of each month from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM.

In This Session

Artist David Hollander explores Edgar Degas' "La Petite Danseuse": A Reconsideration

When Edgar Degas unveiled Little Dancer of Fourteen Years in 1881, audiences were shocked by its realism. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of modern sculpture. Artist David Hollander reexamines this iconic work through the life of its young model, Marie van Goethem, the social world of nineteenth-century Paris, and his own interpretive drawings, offering fresh perspectives on art, history, and the human story behind the sculpture. 

Participants are encourage to engage in a lively discussion and Q&A session.
