ARTIST CAFE
Cottonwood is excited to host ongoing community discussions exploring the business of art. Local gallery curators, art scene mavens, and artists of all experience levels will have an informal, round table conversation about what it takes to be a professional artist. Please join us and be a part of the discussion!
2025 will harken in a diversity of topics, guest presenters, coffee and libations, and more exciting surprises. Space is limited—sign up for the date you want ahead of time to reserve your spot!

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR HUMANS
Introverted? Disheartened? Just tired? The pressure to be an interesting person online can be overwhelming. We are here for you! We’ll discuss strategies for making marketing yourself less stressful and unpleasant…and maybe even make it fun. Special guest Lori Patton O’Hara of DESIGN5SIXTY4 will be on hand to share her expertise!
We’re also excited to welcome local artist legend Lindsay Hand, who will be demonstrating gallery-ready canvas stretching, hardware installation, and more from Meininger Art Supply!
