Are you interested in spending a day in a gathering to celebrate our recovery in A.R.T.S.? Does the idea of an A.R.T.S. day spent together, sharing creativity, attending workshops, and increasing the solvency of our A.R.T.S. Mothership inspire your creativity?  What will we call this gathering?

It will take a group of willing artists to meet and plan to make this event happen. A.R.T.S. World Service is ready to provide the Zoom meeting space, and trusted servants are ready to host and chair the first planning meeting.

Together we can share creative ideas for organizing and leading sessions. Examples of some possible workshops might be: the Steps, Traditions or Concepts in A.R.T.S., Using the ARTS Tools, writing your ARTS personal story, Recovery poetry writing, 5-Alive together, artistic expressions of recovery, or anything you can think of within the parameters of the 12 Traditions.

But the Convention cannot happen without you, your interest and active attention. Below is the LINK to attend every Tuesday, 9:00 am PT/ Noon pm ET/ 6 pm CEST beginning October 28th .
Hope to see you there!

Recovering artists often find writing about their Experience, Strength and Hope with A.R.T.S. Anonymous to be healing and affirming.

The Member Stories Sub-Committee invites A.R.T.S. members to submit personal recovery stories for a new A.R.T.S. Anonymous book: 1) Tell what your creative life was like before you found A.R.T.S. 2) Tell how you found your first A.R.T.S. meeting and what it was like. 3) tell what your creative life is like today and describe how the ARTS program has helped you.

Guidelines are available for members who wish to write a more in-depth Experience Strength Hope (ESH) story. Guidelines for writing your A.R.T.S. Stories.

If you wish for your story to be part of this book, A.R.T.S. Anonymous needs your permission to include it. These means signing and submitting your agreement on the A.R.T.S. Anonymous Author’s Release Form. Here is a link to review the Author’s Release Form. And here is a link to Frequently Asked Questions about the Author’s Release Form.

For members who prefer to write in a group setting a workshop format is available. The suggested script for leading a Members Stories Workshop is available at: Members Stories Workshop Script
