Being creative helps us connect with ourselves, our audience, and a power greater than ourselves. It's part of being a whole, happy, fulfilled human being...and yet, it also comes with challenges. 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 …

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

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 …

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'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 …

A truly successful fashion editorial stays relevant long after trends change. It remains a piece of art, a cultural record of a given time, a document of emotion, dreams, values, social commentary, and beauty. Seattle Fashion Photography members collaborate to create art through the editorial and fashion photography. However, a photo is useless if it remains unseen. That’s why along with creating breathtaking photography we provide a means for every member to network, develop a portfolio, bui …

Hi I am Aili. I just moved back to Seattle after living in New York for three years and graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. While I am living in Seattle I am working on a screen play. As you may know when you are writing a screenplay you spend a lot of time by yourself cooped writing; that being said, I have not met a lot of similar minded people yet. I thought it would be a great idea to have fellow aspiring screenplay writers\ novelist to meet over coffee or a glass of wine …

A Creative Crucible to energize the Media Arts. Hi all! My name is A. James and I am photographer here in Seattle. I own Market Studios here in beautiful Ballard and want to utilize my space to create an epicenter for creative progression, development, and advancement in the media arts. Saying I am "self-taught" would be a huge overstatement since I could not have learned or continue to learn everything I wish to about photography and other fields I pursue without the teaching and mentoring of f …
