KAPPA TAU
WHAT IS KAPPA TAU
Kappa Tau is a daytime interest group for any MAA member who wants to both learn and socialize with other artists. We have monthly meetings with different activities, such as demonstrations, workshops, plein-air events, field trips, and speakers. Sometimes we also have a potluck or brown bag luncheon after the meeting. The meetings are hosted by a volunteer who chooses the location and time. The meetings can be at the Gallery, the host's home, or another venue. Kappa Tau does not charge any dues, although there may be a small fee to cover artistic materials. If you are interested in hosting a Kappa Tau meeting, please contact Becky Turton, the Kappa Tau coordinator, or leave a message at the Gallery.
