This is a group for people interesting in participating in an amateur production of the operetta "Amahl & The Night Visitors." I started this group because I have loved the charming story of Amahl since childhood. I would like to bring others together to explore the possibility of staging a simple performance of this beloved story for Christmas, 2013. Looking forward to meeting fellow Amahl devotees and planning production.

This is a group for creatives in all arts disciplines in the Ashland, Virginia area to find each other for potential collaboration. I believe that Ashland has a lot of "arts" professionals and hobbyists who live under the radar, and are looking for significant change in attitudes about arts both locally and nationally. This is a call out not only to fine artists who might think that the area is not ready for the subject matter that they deal with, but also for musicians, dancers, videographers, …

Hey Guys, My name is Kendra Gaines. Im 24, a 2010 VCU graduate and a creative. As of late, I've been having a hard time trying to find other creatives in this area. With the current enrichment of communities in Norfolk and surrounding cities, there seem to be advancements and a push to grow two obvious groups; those that are technical and business-based and those that are extremely artsy. I want to know if you would be interested in helping me spear head a community of creatives who are not tech …

This year the Gainesville and Manassas communities are joining the world-wide phenomenon of Flash Mobs. For those of you not familiar with this latest craze, a flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place to perform an act (usually dance) and then suddenly disperse.

We think the element of surprise is the most intriguing par …
