Hello, everyone. May I have your attention, please? If you are interested in meeting people who would like to talk about art and make art, the Arts Club may be the perfect place for you. We meet every Tuesday evening to talk about the latest news in the art world and about interesting projects to work on. Members arrive at 7:00 p.m. and meetings last until 9:30 p.m. The meeting places are on the third floor of the library, Room 303B. Don't go to the wrong place.
