What is ATM?
ART(that matters) is an art-space for artists to gather, support, inspire, motivate, perform, & create.
ART(that matters) is supported by artist members.
Our mission is to nurture and challenge artists by providing a safe environment where artists can explore the self imposed boundaries of their creativity.
Through gatherings of support and constructive critique, artists are encouraged to produce work on a regular basis to share with the group. The art continues to evolve and change as a result of feedback from other artist members. Regular exhibitions allow artist members to share art with the community...inviting conversation, changing views and perhaps...make a difference.
