What we’re about
Join other local artists in working on all kinds of art.
We began as a group focused on Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), which are small (3.5- x 2.5-inch) works of original art. We've expanded into all kinds of other mixed-media genres, such as altered books, art journals, painting, stamping, collage, and more. (See "About Us" for much more detail.)
Our group is open to adult artists and craftspeople (you must be 18+ to join) at all experience levels. Our current members range from professional artists to near-newbies. We offer a variety of demos at our monthly Meetups in Natick, and we're looking to meet more frequently and in other locations. Everyone is welcome at our events—we just ask that you RSVP to let us know you're attending.
This group, which began in mid-2007, has quickly evolved into a lively, highly creative community. As one member puts it: "You feel like you're 'in the flow' from the moment you walk in the door." And yet it's not all about self-expression: Without exception, members have been extraordinarily generous about sharing ideas, techniques and tools.
Signing up for events is easy. Just join this Meetup group (membership is free). Then RSVP "yes" for the events that interest you.
Bottom line: We take art seriously, but we have a LOT of fun. And we welcome newcomers. Join us.

Please RSVP if you plan to come.
ACTIVITIES: You can always work on your own projects and I'll come up with an activity.
ATC THEMES: 1) Artist's Choice. Bring four of your ATCs and trade for four others. It's been awhile since we've done any trades so I'll bring my four.
COST: $15, regardless of when you arrive or depart. If this is a hardship, let Pat know and we'll work something out.
- Reminder: Cash is preferred; small bills are greatly appreciated. Checks and PayPal are accepted; ask Pat for info.
WHAT SUPPLIES SHOULD I BRING? There's a suggested list in "All About NE Mixed Media Meetup". But even if you show up empty-handed, that's fine--we have loaner tools.
SNACKS: There's no obligation, but you can bring something to share. Please bring your leftovers home when you leave. Also a good idea to bring a drink for yourself.
FREE STUFF/SALE ITEMS: You're welcome to bring items to sell or give away. Please take everything leftover home with you.
RSVPs: Please RSVP "yes" to attend; that way, we'll have an approximate headcount, and you'll receive all notifications about the Meetup!
If your plans change, please change your RSVP to "no" at least 24 hours in advance so we'll know not to expect you. Anyone who cancels on shorter notice or doesn't show up at all will likely be asked to pay the fee anyway to help cover our costs for the day.
LAST-MINUTE UPDATES: Please check your email in box and the website before leaving for the Meetup. That way, in the unlikely event that we need to cancel for any reason, you'll be sure to get the news.
Hope to see you there!
