I think joining a group can help with individual accountability, productivity and support. Are you a writer, an entrepreneur, a designer? What do you like/need to do on your laptop? Myself, I'm a blogger. I'm looking to form a group that can meet-up with their laptops in tow, have lunch or a snack, and get some work done as well. I'm a casual, low-stress, no drama kinda person, but I am asking that if you join this group, you understand my intention for forming it and some ground rules (that I h …

With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …
