I like unique events that aren't stuffy and a little off the beaten path. I am interested in poetry readings, lectures, book signings, theater, art openings, experimental music, and other related events. I'm hoping to find a few like minded folks in the Bay Area who would like to attend these events on occasion with me! I am looking for cheap stuff to do so you won't find any opera or symphony events here (unless they're free!) So many artists out there, it's great to support your local art scen …

… Improv is short for improvisational theater, the art of using spontaneity within a structure to create everything from short skits and sketch comedy to full-on plays,  using no scripts!  The techniques used to create good performances in improv are fun to learn and bring a sense of play into one's life. 

I started this group to bring together people of all backgrounds to think about our humanity through art and dialog. I am looking to gather with people that are in search of the 'We' narrative in our lives in the global community. This group is for artist, thinkers, feeling folks and whomever is inspired to be a part of creating the kind of life we want to live in.

An intimate social gathering to escape daily life, where you celebrate with friends, neighbors, artists, and discoverers, tasting premium wines, the smooth freshness of a micro brew, local and imported delicacies stir your appetite, and the visual explosion of seeing for the first time one of a kind works of art that are both beautiful and functional. The discoveries are just beginning here, as you talk with the artist, gain insight into the motivation for the work of art, and feel the craftsman …

We aim to connect innovators in the field of arts, culture, and technology. Our meetups are designed to explore the ways in which social media and technology can help bring arts and culture to the masses. "Democratizing" the arts has been a long-standing goal in the art world, and no medium makes it more feasible than the web. The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, an …

A Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, a few snacks, a fantastic piece of playwriting, and a group of avid play readers who like to have fun!  What could be better? East Bay PlayReaders is a group for amateurs who are theater lovers and would like the social experience of group reading. The group is open to anyone, and actors can join, but the purpose is to bring in non-professionals who want to be a part of a playreading, without theater experience. The venue we have chosen is in Alameda, CA. , b …

Hi, there!   I am eager to put together a dynamite ensemble of 8-16 adult singers for SATB musical arrangements. Are you "up" for some serious hard work and performance fun in our community?     The East Bay Singers Group would sing a capella and accompanied music. I am imagining the ensemble performing a variety of styles and perhaps some choreographed movement that might be appropriate to the style of music (not complex dancing, in other words, so no worries!). My goal would be to put together …
