TUESDAY TALKS --- hosted by Northern Colorado Artist Community (NOCOAC)

"I love a good story!  A good story connects me to people.  I become a willing participant with the main characters in their story and I am rewarded with excitement, adventure, insight, knowledge, and the opportunity to practice empathy. "

The Art happens when the audience connects with the storyteller.  

Tuesday Talks is about connecting with people and building a community.  NOCOAC invites a diverse set of speakers to share their stories with you. 

​

We will gather at NOCOAC Headquarters - across the parking lot from the gallery, Unit A


These are Free Events -- donations are welcomed for the nonprofit

This year we were awarded a grant from Dwain Horn Memorial Fund which allowed us to provide this program free to the public and pay our presenters!!!!
