Hi, I'm new to the neighborhood...an artist, teacher and mom of a 2.5-year-old. My daughter is presently in daycare 1 day per week. I'm looking for a daytime play group of other artist moms where we can hang out, get some adult time in too, maybe even do projects with the kiddies. Also of interest is an art crit group, independent of playtime with the kids. Please email if you know of anything out there or have any interest in forming something. most sincerely, Terese
