A&S Nights
Each month, there is a night devoted to the study of the arts and sciences.
A different art or science is covered each month, and the goal is to make A&S
less "scary" and to give people each access to the vast realm of knowledge
held by our master artisans.
If you are interested in hosting and/or teaching an A&S Night, please
contact the Minister of Arts
& Sciences.
