 The Artisans of Chestermere, are a socially oriented group combined with skills and creativity to share wonderful imaginations.  Meeting Thursdays from 1 to 4 PM, the artists get together, enjoy a  coffee, as well as share their thoughts and suggestions on one another's art projects.  Each artist has her own style and personality and as such is a wonderful group.  Hilarity and laughter fills the air during the 3 hours the artisans get together.  New members are always welcome. Tables, coffee and company as well as table covers are at the centre.  Artists are asked to bring their own supplies and of course, enjoy a wonderful outing each week.
