Overview
RAAC hosts three “Soup and Soul” events each winter featuring local artists, musicians, writers, film makers, photographers, etc., who discuss their creative process and share work in progress. Each of the events is held in a private home, and includes a potluck dinner in addition to the artist’s presentation and discussion. The Committee plans, publicizes, and hosts these events. These are very popular, fascinating programs and this is really a fun committee!
