CZT : AE

In the spirit of giving back, the CZT : Artifex Eruditio conference series had been first organized in 2017 on a pro bono basis by Debbie New, a CZT 18 of Rhode Island, Providence, for the CZTs of Singapore. 

Debbie is the resident CZT at Tangled Pursuits, Singapore.

An author, project manager, and conference organisor, Debbie is constantly on the pulse of all things Zentangle. Based in Singapore, she is the main organiser of the Zenacity™ art retreats, and she also travels frequently to attend and teach at other Zentangle retreats.

Originally, an in-person event, the AE conference series moved online during the first few months of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Since then, this series has grown from strength to strength. The workload and logistics to run an event like this, coupled with the pressures of global inflation due to both wars, has resulted in the necessity for an organisor fee from 2021, in order to sustain operations and maintain a high standard of offerings, technical support and customer service before, during and after each event.
