This is a group in the Metro Atlanta area for Teens with Asperger's Syndrome and their Parents. We try to meet twice a month on Saturdays. Some of the events we have enjoyed are bowling, movie nights, Dave & Busters, pottery painting, ice skating, pool parties and more. As we all know, socializing can be difficult for anyone with Asperger's so we think this would be a good way for our teens to make friends and meet new people in a safe and comfortable environment. Many of our teens are especiall …

A weekly figure drawing session at Apache Cafe, also open to photographers. At a typical figure/ life drawing session (class) the attendees sit around a model either in a semicircle or a full circle. No two students have exactly the same view, thus their drawing will reflect the perspective of the artist's unique location relative to the model. The model often poses on a stand, so students can more easily find an unobstructed view, depending on the type of pose, furniture and/or props may be use …

Message Added October 1, 2012: In an effort to limit our membership and make our group smaller, to make it easier to form close friendships, we are currently NOT accepting NEW members who are also a member of the Moms Club or Woodstock Meetup Group.  Being in the same area, the two groups are very similar, and thus, it doesn't make sense to duplicate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last summer (2011), we launched the Towne Lake A …

Just as the title says... if you are an art collector or creator ~ just getting started or seasoned ~ hobbyist or professional... or you are "curious" about  art join us to socialize, share and learn.  Sometimes we may just gather for coffee, other times we may caravan to an opening at a new gallery, and occasionally we'll invite a notorious speaker to entertain your muse. This group is welcome to everyone, but if you happen to live outside the perimeter, between 400 and the I-85 corridor, we ar …
