 RSEY ART MEETUPS (JAM)\, a weekly social event connecting creatives withi

 eer review and feedback from other members if desired. Illustrators\, ani
 mators\, writers\, and generalists are all welcome to join and discuss th

 Design\, Picture Books\, etc.)\n\nGroup meets weekly on Wednesdays from 7
 pm to 9pm. Casual attendance is accepted!\n\nBringing own materials is hi
 ghly encouraged. Some basic materials are provided – paper\, pencils\, et
 c. – but please bring any tools necessary to help you create (i.e. drawin
 g tablets\, sketchbooks\, etc.)\n\nWho we are: Sponsored by artist and ed
 ucator Ronah Harris\, Princeton Comic Makers is an artist collective foun
 ded in 2023 by local illustrators Christina Castro\, Suyang Gong\, and Ma
 sha Zhdanova after noticing a lack of in-person community spaces for NJ-b
 ased artists specializing in narrative arts and communications design. Al
 though we create independently\, we often exhibit together at events such
  as MoCCA Fest\, Anime NYC\, and Camden Comic Con. Our weekly study group
  motivated us to strive towards completing projects and working towards p
 rofessional goals\, so we hope more people can benefit from this club!\n\
