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.
