YES Sketch Tuesday February 17th

From: <gunny@wi.rr.com>
 
FYI:   There is a Jam session tomorrow night at the Jazz Gallery, 926 E. Center St., Milw.  There is no charge but it is encouraged to donate.  $5 seems about right.   You bring your own drink.  Non-alcohol is best since they don’t have a liquor license.   There might be food there.  
 
Art and I are going to attend.   It starts at 7:00pm.   You draw the band, or whatever else you chose.
 
I don’t know much else.  I just stumbled across this and have not attend a jam myself.
This is a non-profit group run by Mark.

Have a great day, and see you next week..

You may prorate @ $30/class if you're unable to attend an entire session, but if you need to miss a class you may make it up during any other class time or carry it over to the next session. My classes run continuously year round other than the times I'm competing in a local or national plein air event or teaching a workshop away from home.

Hope you can join us!
