Feed your art habit with museum and art gallery visits. Let’s arrange group visits and discussions around new exhibits at Museum of Modern Art, Fine Arts Museum, Asian Art Museum, etc. Or take a deeper look at a few interesting pieces from the permanent collections or discover emerging artists at a local art gallery.

This meetup will encourage us all to get out to museums, galleries and fine art events with like-minded people to view, discuss, discover, etc. and have a social get together before/after. You may be well-versed in art periods and certain artists or have just a casual appreciation of art but in a meetup we allow all types to share the experience in a group setting. The meetup host will have some "rules" to manage the group through the art event and social gathering. Those who rather pick and cho …

We read and discuss books that are rooted in or inspired by history in all its shapes and colors. Fiction and non-fiction, both scholarly and popular. Stories that re-create the past. Journalists who tell us "what happened". Interpreters who openly argue a point of view or seek to illuminate the present through the past. There are also many opportunities to leave our armchairs for fun history-focused field trips to museums, walking tours, films, theater, author lectures, etc. For our book discus …

We aim to connect innovators in the field of arts, culture, and technology.

The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, an …

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 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 …

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. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …
