This is a meetup group that will meet weekly (just come when you can) to talk about our writings and just get together with other writers.  I hope to make this a nice community of writers where you can feel safe and grow your confidence. This group is more of a support group then a place to seriously get your work review.  We do sometimes bring work to share but it isn't a requirement.  We read are stories if we want or sometimes just bring copies or both.  The rest of the group will give you fe …

We're a group of creative folk, working together to bring art to everyone. Remember, you don't have to be an artist to create art!

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

All creatives need community. It is where inspiration floods our minds and hearts. We need that cross-pollination. We need that place away from deadlines and textbooks. We need to be refreshed. We need to escape from the pressure to perform. A place where we don’t have to suffer the anxiety of “Did I make the cut?” We need a place to be creative for creativity’s sake. Each week at Sketchings we will have the opportunity to gather together to: -Walk through creative prompts -Talk about what curre …

Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours …

A group for fans of rock, blues, jazz, or anything in between. This is a place to post bands playing around the Cities so others can discover these new acts. I encourage members to sugges a meetup for shows they plan on attending and I will move it to an active meetup.

Do you love classical guitar? We are an informal group of players interested in getting together to perform pieces, attend concerts, or just hang out and enjoy sharing ideas about classical guitar.

Please note, this group is strictly for classical guitar ONLY - I hate to be exclusive but there are loads of other grou …

It's the poem I never wrote..Well I wrote it  but I crumbled it.. Still I think about it.... So don't crumble it but share it with us over coffee, wine, food, and good company.

If you're an author of book, whether self-published or traditionally published, this group is for you. It's for us to discuss how we market out books using traditional methods (pr campaigns, book signings, etc.) and online techniques (online ad campaigns, Facebook, etc.). Think of this group as one big brainstorm about book marketing.
