As artists, we spend most of our creative time alone. Creating art is a very singular, solitary task. With "The Artist's Way" as a guide, we can create a community of support and encouragement. The following quote from the author's website sums it up: "When The Artist's Way was first published, I expressed a wish for Artist’s Way groups to spring into being. I envisioned them as peer-run circles—“creative clusters”—where people would serve one another as believing mirrors, uniting with the …

Not all creative people are looking for criticism.  Some just want inspiration, friends, and the chance to be creative with others who just get it.  While originally a writers' group, this group is going to tour great coffee houses, where members will have the opportunity to do art or writing alongside each other.  We'll be each others' cheerleaders on our journey, whether that be writing your memoir, standing in front of a microphone reading a poem or singing out loud, or just having friends to …

As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

Whether you are an ARTIST or an ART LOVER I'd like to welcome you to the ARTBEAT, my storefront studio in Rahway's up and coming Arts District. I'm a NYC multi-media artist who moved back to Jersey and this studio is where I do all my stuff so I was thinking - I would love for it to be a place where creative people of all types can meet, make things and show their work AND a place for creativity appreciato …

I'm an artist. I'm a writer, singer and musical theatre afficiando. But mostly, I'm someone who seeks to take this love of the creative arts and make it into a business. I'm sure there are many others out there who are pursuing, or have been successful at, similar goals. So, if you've got this nagging idea to start your own creative arts business or have one that's thriving getting together to exchange ideas and insights would be beneficial to all of us!

Think Hemingway and Stein going at it in Paris or the artists around the Algonquin Round Table. We're looking for deep discussions among artists about philosophy, politics, and, of course, art.

We may have themes some months, or free talks other months. We'lll explore some painters and musicians and writers and how they are relevant to our wo …

Berks Bards is a non-profit group active in the Greater Reading region since 1999. It promotes poetry as “living art” for ordinary people. Monthly poetry readings feature an invited poet and an open mic. They also host special poetry events for the Literary Festival in October and BardFest in April.

I would like to start a community for writers and artists with the goal of exploring, understanding, and working through creative blocks. This will not be a critique group, but a place to meet, share with, celebrate, and support one another. You might just be starting out in your craft or established. It doesn’t matter what type of writer or artist you might be. Our starting point might be The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. We would meet monthly in the Elizabethtown/Mt Joy area.

OpenCrit.org is a critique group for artists in and around the Philadelphia region. Its mission is to provide a formal structure for artists to meet, and discuss their work and ideas. Critiques will be held on a regular basis, at members' studios, on a rotational basis. It is our belief that artist's should be involved with each other and each others work, as it develops, not just at the final show. Also, artists should constantly be expanding their circle beyond their comfortable group of long …

Artists tend to create their art in solitude, then show their work to non-artists or the public for feed back. Most often the feedback is based on personal taste or a bias towards a certain type of art. Do you ever long for constructive feedback, the kind that helps you dig deep and find what you need to keep your work fresh and evolving? The kind that your only your fellow artists, your peers, can bring? Me too! That's why I started Juxtapose, for the fellowship, support and critical feedback t …

“This is a group for anyone interested in Poetry, Spoken Word, Writers, Musicians. I started this group to meet other enthusiasts in Poetry. Looking forward to meeting everybody.”

So gather your journal, Sharpies, images that inspire you, stamps, paint, glitter, or whatever makes you happy.

"If you wish to be a writer, write." - Epictetus ...The concept of this meetup is simple: meet up with others in a cafe ...and write.  Carve out one sacred hour per week to bring your project to life.  Working in the company of other creative writers will provide you with the motivation you need to move forward and write that story, novel, or chapbook of poems you have inside you.  Our group is about creative companionship...no critiquing, exercises, lectures, ego, competition or feeling guilty. …
