The TNSC provides support and education from peer and professional artists, artwork exposure, plus occasions to meet, socialize and inspire artistic growth. The Chapter has an internet presence through this website and Facebook page. Gathering at meetings and bringing artwork for critiques is one of the most satisfying experiences of membership. Whether you live near or far, you can always be in touch with other members. As members of the FCA you will also receive the FCA Magazine Art Avenue in print or digital version, e-newsletter, and discounts on workshops.
