Quotes from the episode:

"We show up here because it's a way of discipline, it's part of the creative process. If you know you've got an appointment to do art every Tuesday morning at 9:00, well, you're likely to do that. So it's a way of doing more art than you would if you didn't come here." - Joe

"I think it gives me a reason to get up in the morning, and I really get a kick out of not only coming to class, but getting an idea about what my next project will be. It expands my whole world." -Rita

"Most of my paintings are inspired by scenes from our travels. As newly retired, I'm starting to pursue going to art fairs; I did my first art fair this summer." -Cathy (see Cathy's work on her Facebook page)
