There's good information on the Internet, excellent books on the craft and helpful organizations to get you started.

Show & Tell After the Louvre

When: Wednesday, March 31

Consider this a date.

The museum stays open late on Wednesdays.

there's a very nice ambience. Why not
take a stroll with your inner artist before joining
fellow writers and illustrators for dinner at a nearby
restaurant?

Find a piece of art that you love, or one that helps you gain
a new understanding of your work, and later during Show & Tell, you'll have a chance to share with the group.

Where: Dinner and Show & Tell
will be at the
Thai restaurant Baan Boran:
43, rue de Montpensier, 75001 Paris
a 5 minute walk from the museum.

Time: RDV at 7:45
at the foot of the spiral steps
in the main entrance of the Louvre.

Or meet us by 8pm at the restaurant.
