Leave your technical manuals behind - this group is for those interested in photography as an art form. Although we recognize the importance of the craft of photographer we feel that the craft is already very well catered for by a plethora of meetups and camera groups in the New England Region. This group will take a step to the side and cater to those for whom art assumes a far greater weight than craft. We won't be talking about camera settings, lenses, tripods or equipment, we will be discu …

Everyone needs a "me" time after hours of giving, giving, giving (at work, at home, to the community). It is time to "recharge". Time to dedicate sometime to "me"! We meet once a week, in a relaxed setting and let our creative juices flow. Even if you think you are not creative, it is contagious. Glass is a beautiful and seductive material, mysterious, full of surprises and contradictions. Come and enjoy the evening over wine, chocolate and music. Disconnect from the world for a few hours and l …

Did you know that Impressionism came about because of a circle of connected artists?  Or that Virginia Woolf was only one member of the Bloomsbury group?  Throughout time, creative folks have come together to make things.  In the 17th-19th centuries in France these gatherings happened in Salons often run by powerful women.  After NYC, Somerville has the most artists per capita.  It's time all of us creatively-inclined got together to exchange ideas and support.  That's why we created the Somervi …

We understand busy schedules and the work load of a working mom …

Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …
