This group was originally founded for creative Austin singles to help identify themselves and find one another but is now expanding to include all creative people in a relationship or not.
By 'creative' we mean that your creative passions are a strong and important part of your life. Whether writing, visual art, music, performance, or other crafts compel you, creative work is important to your happiness, and you seek creative relationships (friendship or otherwise) with others who understand and have similar drives.
NOTE: This particular meetup group was founded by the same person who founded the Austin Writers Meetup and the Austin Experimental Artists meetup. Below are the links if either of those interest you. I'm also the co-organizer for the Writer's Meetup and really enjoy the community of writers Heath has built up.
Our next MeetupAugusten Burroughs @ BookPeople
Augusten Burroughs author of Running with Scissors will be at BookPeople to talk about his latest book You Better Not Cry. Meet me in the Cafe at 6:30 so we can head upstairs and get seats together.
