What we’re about
Art Around town with Art Social
Art Social friends will enjoy meeting up in our local area to enjoy and create the Arts. We intend to encourage fine artist, pencilers, inkers, painters, photographers, sculptors, conceptual artists, performance artists, filmmakers, graphic designers, digital artist, art collectors, event coordinators and even those who do not create but who love art to join and connect to have the know how to show art at exhibits, and give tips, leads. Growing a community and friendship - one pencil at a time.

Art Social Meetup Group:
Art Social members gather to discuss techniques, share critiques, and attend and/or curtate gallery/exhibiting - remotely and in-person for First Fridays to boost our artist careers, and/or hobbies. Members grow our community by supporting each other during gallery showings/openings showing up as the audience, socializing and embracing creativity together. To stay social, we also connect over virtual art mingles, artist crits, happy hours, for tea and/or cocktails, gameboard nights, and light dinners to engage in getting to know each other and share our details of projects - some events are hosted in collaboration with Phl Happy Hour Meetup Group and Dynamic Social Network .
We encourage all the members of this group to have creative collaborations with our members, connect, enjoy and grow our trade with each other, while feeling confident to build relationships with groups who are not artist yet are interested in the artistic world.
