MUSE
FUSE
NURTUREart's monthly Muse Fuse meetings are an occasion for the informal gathering
of its Registry Artists and Curators, their guests, and other invitees. Attendees
exchange useful career information, offer collegial support, and simply enjoy
each other's company. Muse Fuse also presents interesting guest speakers, open
slide nights, and occasionally offers a "field trip."
