CLUB’S FIRST EVENT OF 2026 SET FOR TOMORROW, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10!

Leave a comment

MonSFFA’s first event of 2026 is the club’s January e-meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, January 10, from 1:00PM to 5:00PM!

We’ll be comparing artificial intelligence as depicted in SF with the AI models currently in development in the real world! As well, we’ll feature a primer on perspective as a useful guide to producing striking works of sci-fi art, and we’ll remember fondly the classic SF&F toys of our collective childhood! Finally, we’ll also select our Executive Committee for the coming year.

Join our ZOOM-Chat tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, January 10, from 1:00PM to 5:00PM for all this, and more…

Note that MonSFFA’s peak winter meetings are conducted exclusively online via ZOOM; February’s e-meeting is slated for Saturday, the 21st. We return to in-person meetings at our downtown conference room in March, as winter wanes.
