HAS F O R U M CLOSED ITSELF OFF?
Concern has been raised as to whether F O R U M has become closed to new members following the establishment of a group of core members.
To progress,
Firm plans for future F O R U M meetings will be made and posted on
F O R U M blog, well in advance of meeting.
Actively invite other artist members into the group, to show work and submit work for Fora Two.
