Moved from the city (2.4 million) to a town (25,000). Looking to connect with the art community and found an arts group   Lakeside Pumphouse Artists' Association. They meet every Wednesday afternoon. There is also a town art gallery. It was started by a family friend and my uncle.
For my writing side I am looking into the Writers' Group. They also meet on Wednesdays but at night and only once a month.
Also looking forward to maintaining my city art group. Hoping for a show together in the Spring!
