Gather with fellow artists for feedback and innovative ideas during ARTtalk and ARTwalk 2008 at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. The ARTtalk program provides an opportunity for artists to meet at the Museum and offer friendly critiques and helpful advice on their work. ARTwalk offers participants the opportunity to tour an artist’s studio on a Tuesday evening and make artwork at the museum the following Thursday. ARTwalk alternates every other month with ARTtalk.

ARTtalk 2008 will be held on the following Thursday evenings: March 20, May 22, July 24, September 18, and November 20. The cost is $20 for all remaining sessions for museum or Art Guild members and $35 for guests.
