The presentation for the first meeting will be by JB Berkow.

At the age of 26, Berkow founded the cooperative gallery in Washington, DC, Touchstone Gallery. She also founded Frenchman’s Art Gallery and Studio, Inc. and in 2003, Rosetta Stone Fine Art Gallery in Jupiter. She has always felt a strong need to mentor and promote other artists. She published a book, “What They Don’t Teach You in Art School”, a culmination of many years of experience and in-depth research. Her books will be available for sale.
