• providing a meeting place for the consideration of our interests and discussion of questions affecting artists and members,
  
• encouraging members to continue to create visual artworks,
  
• arranging workshops with guest artists and sponsoring exhibitions,
  
• maintaining a library of art resources,
  
• providing necessary equipment and furniture to carry out activities, and
