Luncheon Series

Arts Connect Luncheons are intended to create an opportunity for the local and regional arts community as well as arts industry providers, arts lovers and supporters to come together, to listen to guest presenters, share their thoughts, their information, ideas and resources, explore beneficial collaborations and to provide a networking forum that cultivates relationships and strengthens the connectivity and conversations between the many art forms.
 
An informational table will be available to share promotional or printed materials
. All are welcome.
