The Central Ohio Branch meets once a month September through June, except for January. The speakers are rotated among the three classifications of Writers, Visual Artists and Musicians to remain diversified.

We often meet on the first Tuesday of the month from 1 – 3 PM. Sometimes our programs are in the evening or on weekends, depending on special opportunities or occasions. The location varies, but is typically at public spaces like library meeting rooms, cultural arts centers, galleries, museums, etc.

The meeting consists of short business updates, a presentation of some sort, and a time to share opportunities or successes among members. We believe in supporting our sister members when their book-signings, gallery receptions and concerts occur.
