PLAN A WOODSONGS ARTIST GATHERING. We will help you. Make plans to host one this spring, summer, fall or in 2024.
WOODSONGS ARTIST GATHERING is a working PICNIC for artists, painters, poets, songwriters and authors. After an afternoon of community and creating – that evening we have a potluck when the poets recite their poetry, the artists display their paintings, the authors read their short stories and the songwriters perform their new compositions. I see it as a way of bringing the community of artisans together to share creative energy and energize mutual encouragement. The events are FREE to the participating artists and FREE to the Hosts. Let’s spread these to different regions around the country!
