Tap Into Your Creative Resilience!

Join us for a conversation and book signing that will instill hope for your future as an artist working in any medium at any age.


Everyone has questions these days (about life, democracy, the future, the price of eggs) and not a lot of answers. As artists, we wonder if we're good enough or even too old enough to try. We say: Go for it! We are four authors and artists leaning into our power to be joyful, resilient creators. Join Amy L. Bernstein, Sharon Burton, Erica Ginsberg, and Frankie Rollins to learn inspiring tips and strategies for tapping into your inner artist.
