Monthly Meetings

Join or renew your membership online now

In 2026 we will have a mix of in person and zoom meetings.  We meet on Saturday mornings.  Please keep an eye on the website “Meetings” page and our monthly newsletter for information and updates regarding this.  If you’re a member of FRCQ you will receive the zoom link by email in the week prior to the zoom meeting.

FRCQ meetings have an inspiring member “show and tell” followed by a program, usually an international, national, or local speaker. Our speakers generously share their inspiration, knowledge, insights and personal artistic journeys.  We still strongly encourage you to bring your work to show at our in-person meetings! 

FRCQ is also hosting monthly mini-retreats the third Saturday January through November (weather permitting).  Messaging regarding these mini-retreats will be sent to members prior to each one via an email eblast.  For specific dates, please see the drop down tab on the menu bar above.  

Meeting Dates:  Please see the Meeting List on this page for details of meeting speakers, dates, times and if meeting is by zoom or in-person.

Saturday Morning Meetings: 10:00am

10455 W 6th Ave #100, Lakewood, CO 80215
