Art can educate, entertain and communicate.
It can also help build and maintain lifelong friendships, as was the case for four MCC art instructors and a large number of local professional artists. According to Speranza, most of the women involved are close friends, who met as colleagues in their respective fields in ASU s graduate and undergraduate programs in the early 1970s. Ten years ago, about a dozen women in the group decided to meet for occasional dinners several times a year. Today, the group is much larger and more diverse. Amongst the friends, nine hold master s of fine arts degrees, two hold master s of arts degrees and three earned a bachelor s art degree.
