What we’re about
Welcome to the Manassas Creative Arts Collective!
This group is for musicians, writers, performers, visual artists, and creatives of all kinds—whether you're returning to your craft, exploring something new, or simply seeking inspiration and connection.
Originally created for classical musicians, we've now expanded to include a broader, interdisciplinary community of artists. Whether you’re a violinist, pianist, poet, playwright, painter, or curious creator, you’re welcome here.

Manassas comes from Manasseh, the son of Joseph in Genesis. His name (מְנַשֶּׁה M’nasheh) means “making to forget” or “cause to forget”, because Joseph said God had made him forget his hardship (Genesis 41:51).

Our mission is to be a clearing for creativity in all its forms.
Join us for informal virtual and in-person gatherings, workshops, book clubs, masterclasses, and meditation sessions.
Creative exchanges where you can share work, collaborate, or simply be around others who value expression and artistry.
