Meet-up with other members of the artistic community at Agitator. You can bring your own supplies and creative projects to work on, or you are welcome to participate in the structured activity which will include an artist demo at the start of the class.  Agitator will provide basic supplies (like pencils, paper, and other art materials) to work with, for some sessions we may sell materials kits, but you should bring your preferred supplies specific to your art projects. 

Use the gallery as an OPEN WORKSPACE; bring your art (make new work or continue projects from previous weeks).  Every session begins with a DEMO provided by a lead artist (an Agitator Member or guest artist) that will focus on a specific art material or process. Then its your turn to work on the demo-ed project, or your own art, ask questions, give & receive feedback. This is a great opportunity to workshop your ideas and get input as you develop existing or new pieces.
