What we’re about
art! Art!! ART!! THE Seven Arts . . . Arts Meetup Group
As the art world changes, so do the different forms of art.
Art throughout the ages, the notion of the seven significant forms of art has been altered several times with the arrival of new media.
Today when we speak of ‘art’ we all think of ‘visual art’
The seven different art forms are:
- Painting
- Sculpture
- Literature
- Architecture
- Theater
- Film
- Music
```
Way back when . . . the seven different art forms were called the Liberal Arts:
```
- Grammar
- Logic
- Rhetoric
- Arithmetic
- Geometry
- Astronomy
- Music
I hope this group will be as much about interesting conversations in a social environment as it will be about art.
There is no cost to being a member of the group, and most the events will be free, unless otherwise noted for a museum, ticketed event, or private party.
Ideally I will be scheduling an event about twice a month, depending on what's going on around town.
*Please respect that THIS IS AN ART APPRECIATION GROUP, not Match.com. Many members are not single, please do not assume they are looking and email someone in a personal fashion that you have never met. I kindly ask that you make the connection in person at an event where you can get a read on their situation and interest. Thanks for understanding I pay for this group and don't want my potential friends scared off. Let me know if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, as privacy and safety for online groups are of importance to me, too.
Please attach a profile photo of you as it is part of our membership requirement and a great way for you to connect with members.

- Bridge to Nowhere Hike. WITH waterfall AND abandoned mine AND Trash Pickup Hike"Bridge to Nowhere - Trailhead, La Verne, CA
The Bridge To Nowhere hike is a bucket list hike for many.
While the destination is a draw . . . so is the terrain to get there.
River crossings abound. Great hike to beat the heat.
Along with the main hike to the bridge . . . we will ALSO visit to the hidden and often missed waterfall. As well as one of the abandoned mines.
There are also some swimming holes we can visit too.
This hike is close to the Tunnels to Nowhere . . . but that's a different hike we will do another time.
The deets:
10 mi
Elevation change 1250ft
Several river crossings
5 to 6hrs. 7 if you add the waterfall and mine.

Tell me about food and everything else.
The logistics of providing food for every possible diet, as well as food prep issues is just not feasible or safe.
AND
Due to varied dietary needs and food contact issues, it's better if bring what you like and prep it.
What gear do I need?
The only specialized gear you need is Tent, Sleeping bag, Sleeping Pad (yoga mat). Everything else is household items you already have.
Special note: this is Tent camping. No RV. No Trailers. No giant campervans.
Can I park my car next to my tent?
Sniffing tires, oil, exhaust and fuel? Yuck!!! You cars will be close. But not on top of us. Cars on one side. Humans on the other. If we overflow our parking area . . . there is an overflow parking area.
Carpools?
- Carpool info goes out ONLY to paid attendees. (it really sucks to set up a carpool with a person who is not actually going)
- Carpool info ONLY goes out to those who fill out the ATTENDEES/CARPOOL FORM (this way it is reliable info)
- Carpool info goes out all at once (not as you sign on)
- Carpool info goes out 1 week before the event. Too early and most carpools fall apart. It really sucks when your ride canceled at asked for a refund a month ago but did not tell you. Carpools info sent when it is stable of who is attending.
- Carpool in week before makes sense because that's when people can really determine schedule and departure time and availability.
Refunds?
If requested 2 weeks before event start: 100% refund.
If requested less than 2 weeks: 100% Full Credit be applied to ANY future event we run.
