About us Join us for coworking with creatives and artists in the East Bay at cafes, live/work spaces, studios, and other suitable spaces. Occasionally we'll have lunch out. This is a private group for the organizers and their friends, who normally work independently from home or studio, and want an occasional break from working solo to meet others, and work with them side-by-side. For safety, one can join by invitation only from a member or friend of member. While working solo has its benefits, …

We (Mireya and Rosy) are artists and creative arts therapists living in the Bay Area. What began as a longing to create a freeing arts practice for ourselves became a deep desire to provide an authentically enlivening experience for others. For over a year, we explored the questions, "What kind of conditions would just naturally, organically nurture the creative process in people? And, what kind of structure and container could safely hold and guide a diversity of experiences?" Once we found ans …

The Liminal Art Salon meetup group is a forum for incubating authentic expression. Its purpose is to guide, stimulate and inspire artists and seekers to renew the spirit and power of true, authentic creative expression. Liminal literally means "threshold".

We aim to generate, brainstorm and cultivate ideas, imaginings, creations, events and collaborations. O …

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …

Some years ago, this started out as a scrapbook group but what it has become is much more than that.  We are a collective group of ARTISTIC CRAFTERS working on various projects.  We are not the typical crafting group that you see in crafting stores on a Friday night.  We are ecclectic and diverse, have a great time exploring our creativity, and  some of us actually do work on scrapbooks.  We also participate in activities and excursions outside of our craftrooms, and food is an important element …

I believe that everybody can sing! That's why I've created this voice improvisation meet-up in Berkeley. My approach is inspired by the work of improv legends like David Darling, Bobbie McFerrin and local voice artist David Worm. Using a variety of games, activities and techniques we create one-of-a-kind "music" from next to nothing, using solely the human voice. There are no "wrong" notes and no "bad" voices in The Soundproof Room. The goal is for all participants to enjoy producing their own j …
