Open Artist Sessions (now Online Artist Sessions!) are monthly, intimate and informal Q&A's for FAC PRO members with an experienced artist or industry figure. They aim to provide education, advice and help to nurture our artist community. They are free and exclusively for artists. Spaces are limited, so we recommend signing up quickly to secure a spot.
