Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education.

We then pass the mike around for anyone who wants to read. W …

We're a group of creative folk, working together to bring art to everyone. Remember, you don't have to be an artist to create art! We'll be starting with monthly art events and hopefully moving to more and bigger events, projects, activities and creations. Join us! We're looking for new members - artists, creators, dreamers, and doodlers. We'll see you soon!
