The meetup host will have some "rules" to manage the group through the art event and social gathering. Those who rather pick and cho …

This group is an experiment to create a free exchange of modeling and drawing for artists, like myself, who love drawing from life. Group members take turns doing some of the modeling (lightly-clothed or nude) and will have plenty of time to draw. I have drawn from life on and off for the last 15 years or so and also have experience modeling for life drawing classes in the University setting. I think the experience of being on both sides of the coin is valuable and interesting. Details: - All m …

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

I assume you think, dream or make art like I do. I am not as much into the museum scene but tend to check out local galleries and some genres of art in particular; impressionism upwards, abstract and such kinds of stuff that puts some people to sleep. I hate to use the word 'serious', but as an artist, I am constantly looking for new ideas and thought I'd be fun to do this with others. To get a sense of the tone of the group, perhaps you can check out my artist page & blog at facebook.com/thou.a …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist.

Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …
