Please Join Us!!!!

Here is a little background that may help to explain the A2A group. The Artist 2 Artist Network came from a desire to develop a place to come together with other artists in an open and encouraging environment. We have been meeting since February 2010 and newcomers are always welcome. We meet once a month .

In addition to our meetings we have, sponsored participation in the Somerville Jazz Festival with art displayed and recently sponsored the screening of “Proceed and Be Bold”.
