Salon: An Artful Conversation

Judith HeartSong’s Salon: An Artful Conversation is a monthly meeting of artists, writers, and arts professionals who come together to bond, network, and get out of their heads for a little while. It is a conversation, a support group, sometimes a counseling session, always a networking extravaganza, an experimental lab for new ideas, and a place to learn and grow by leaps and bounds as an artist and professional.

We feature amazing speakers from the metro area and beyond who come to share their wisdom and expertise. In April, artist and web designer Todd Baxter Dawson  joins us to discuss the importance of your online presence and why it’s an essential element of your art business.

Salon has been running successfully in Maryland for more than three years and is now a monthly First Thursday event at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Bring a store-bought dish to pass or beverage to share, and come be a part of the conversation!
