Model and Photographer meetup

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

In five words or less: Nerdy Artists Hangout & Draw Comics! (does an ampersand count as a word? is "hangout" one word or two?) Our goal is to bring together people who want to make comics or video games to hang out over drinks and snacks, show off our latest works, share ideas and (of course) draw comics. Our attendees are comprised mostly of comic illustrators, with the occasional writer and game developer. We have had a few seasoned professionals at our table, but the vast majority of us do th …

I will never forget the day when I fell head over heals in love with my first yarn project! Couldn't-put-it-down-stayed-up-way-too-late-and-was-tired-at-work-the-next-day kind of love.

This group is devoted to helping you find joy in creativity in spite of the many common blocks that get in the way--perfectionism, the inner critic, fears, feeling overwhelmed, not having the time and energy, and more. While we might do our work solo, we all benefit from the power of community. Join us …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …

Meetings will take within driving distance of silverdale, bremerton and poulsbo at whatever ve …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

We can help. SMILE, the Seattle Musical Instrument Lutherie Encounter, is a local meet up of people involved in designing and buil …

We are the greatest/only Improvisational Rube-Goldberg Machine team in the world! Join us as we meet in a casual atmosphere for some silly science fun. At each meeting, we use only the random items we bring with us to design a spontaneous Rube Goldberg Machine together that does a trivial task (like cracking an egg, or ringing a bell, for example) through a creative, convoluted sequence of connected simple machines. Then, we see if it works! Although we're enthusiastic about the recreational fun …
