Nichole McVeigh and Artist Meet-ups at Two-Tone Art Gallery
Local artist Nichole McVeigh is one of the many Murfreesboro residents dreaming of a more connected art community. After living in Murfreesboro for six years, she has always yearned to be a part of a creative community. Having no luck finding what she was looking for, she decided to create her own.
She has put together Murfreesboro Creative Group, which will have regular meet-ups for artists every other Wednesday at Two-Tone Art Gallery, 113 West Lytle St. June’s meetings will be from 5-8 p.m. on June 11 and 25.
Nichole says the meet-ups are a way for artists to network, support each other and connect creatively. Attendees are welcome to bring art projects to work on for the three hours they have the gallery reserved. This is also an opportunity for artists to learn from each other about different mediums in a non-stressful environment. Some refreshments will be provided.
For more information on the meetings, contact Nichole McVeigh on Facebook at facebook.com/nikkius, or look up Murfreesboro Creative Group. Information on when the meetings will be taking place can also be found on Two-Tone’s Facebook page.
Nichole McVeigh has also recently launched her new blog, Embody Your Muse, which will feature interviews with creative people from all over the world. The interviews will mostly focus on the creative process, giving readers a peak into other creative minds for support and inspiration for their own lives. Visit embodyyourmuse.com.
