We are people who meet to be creative in nature. Our events are outings. We walk to places in nature where we break to be creative. We do not talk during our breaks, but we talk again afterwards to share our creations. We are an artsy group, not a hiking group. All who seek to create from nature are welcome, whatever your art, whether you write, draw, paint, sculpt, craft, photograph, dance, philosophize, or meditate for inspiration. Participants are expected to share from time to time, whether …

This creative non-fiction group is meant for people who have written fiction in the past and want to try their hand at personal essays or others ways of putting more of themselves into their writing, or writers like me who have focused on traditional non-fiction topics such as How To articles and want to add more color to their pieces. The focus will be on the craft of creative non-fiction …

This is not a work-focused group, although you're welcome to talk about whatever is on your mind. We'll have monthly potlucks at members' houses and other locations. You don't need to be a foodie or gourmet cook to join. All you need to be is a writer/artist/creative type with a desire to hang out with similar people, and an appetite.

This is an experimental meetup which provides you with painting technique demos, art history slideshows, and a space to paint and practice your craft (or start learning it from scratch). Having just finished teaching an Informal Class at UT on "Explorations in Color & Texture" some students asked me to continue the course to allow them the time and space to put into practice the techniques they had learned. So, I found a space where people can bring their ideas and questions to continue explorin …
