Normally I would write about this just after it happened, but I decided to wait.  What did I wait to talk about?  The Monday night artist talk hosted by Eric Matelski at Dazzle Jazz Club.  A lot of times I'll write a review of the evening, but I wanted to take a different slant on the event for this month.  I really want to focus on what Eric is trying to create and that's an artist community.

I believe that July will be the 2 year anniversary of the Monday night artist talk.  In those two years I've seen the attendance grow and the number of regulars increase.  It's nice to see people who are interested in not only art but the motivations and inspiration behind the featured artist.  I think the talk with Katie Taft last month really showed that the event is back on track. 

Throughout the evening it was clear that community is forming.  I got to see some artists I only get to visit with at this talk and we can catch up.  On the other hand, I was sitting next to an artist I admire and hadn't met, but she introduced herself to me and that's Kay Tuttle.  You never know who you're going to meet or what opportunities may arise from attending.

The event is in Denver so sorry for those outside the Denver Metro Area.  It will be on Monday, July 7 at 7pm, at Dazzle Jazz Club.  If you show up and we haven't met I hope you'll introduce yourself to me.  If you don't know what I look like you can see my photo at www.artistsuccessstudio.com.  Hope to see you there!
