Artists will also need to supply their own standing easel for hanging art, or table top easel, or pedestal. We do have some table space available to display some of the art. We do not have any wall space however for hanging art. Artist are welcome to attend any or all of the viewing times, but please remember that it is a meditation time, and if you would like to discuss your art pieces with participants, we ask that you do so in a room away from the meditation areas.
