LEYDEN -- A group of talented and tenacious artists has been meeting once a month for the past decade to share and display members' art -- and there seems to be no end in sight for the group.
Peggy Brown, current coordinator of the group, as well as a potter, photographer and writer, said Alicia Hunsicker, another Leyden artist, founded the group more than 10 years ago. Hunsicker is still a member.
''It's an informal group,'' said Brown. "We get together once a month, sometimes to share our art, sometimes to create art and sometimes just to talk about it.'' Brown said the whole idea of the group was to get creative people together to inspire and support each other.
The group consists of potters, painters, fiber artists, photographers, writers, illustrators and more.
Brown said membership fluctuates between 15 and 25 members.
''Sometimes two people will show up for a meeting and sometimes everyone will,'' said Brown.
The group gets together for trips to art museums, art walks, potluck dinners and to just sit in a garden and create.
