The conversation continues

One evening.
A continuing practice.

The gathering may be past. The questions—and the community around them—remain alive.

Making Light meets monthly at Provincetown Commons, creating room for honest conversation across creative disciplines. Come with your work, your uncertainty, your experience, or simply your curiosity.
