Announcing the first meeting of The Well-fed Artist, a Meetup group intended to subvert the idea that artists have to starve, to suffer for their art. Artists can and do live rich, full lives. How? What does it take? How can they provide nourishment for themselves and one another?
Hosted by coach and fiber artist Gika Rector, this Meetup group explored what it takes individually and as a community to be well-fed.
About the Meetup group
The Well-fed Artist Meetup Group met for several sessions in 2010 and 2011. Each meeting was loosely structured around a theme, and also included time for individual reflection and conversation.
The theme for our first meeting was Food in the Midst of Famine. How do we practice our craft and feed ourselves when resources are scarce?
Participants were invited to bring something to share—a snack, an idea, or a show-and-tell.
Fee
The Well-fed Artist meetups were FREE and open to the public. Group membership was free and entitled members to participate in the discussion forums, share messages with the community, and sign up for announcements about other Meetup groups in their areas of interest.
