Talks and demos are dependent on the weather, if the NSCC closes due to weather conditions the talks are canceled for those days. The talks and demos are casual, informal sessions designed to introduce the public to the various mediums practised by our members and to discuss art issues pertinent to the art scene in our local area. The talks have been a huge success so far, thanks to Jo-Ann Shaw, Jacqueline Steudler, the Attic Painters,Joy Laking, Nancy Samson, Neil Fisher, Karen Olsson, Audrey Hanrahan, Pam Swainson, Bruce Wood, Margaret Boyle and Katherine Burris for their contributions to the demo days in February.
