This life drawing group, Beverly Life Drawing, will resume under the new name, Studio 3-3 (Life Drawing in Beverly). We will continue to meet on Wednesday evenings, but the hours will be 7-9pm.

Or $18. per evening when paying by the week. I am also offering instruction for artists who would like to brush up …

Hello Darling, Beloved Sisters, We're so sorry the world has not seen you for the amazing gift that you are. Because we see it – in every one of you we pass on the street, in the women who attend our classes, in the woman at the checkout counter at the supermarket. You are intuitive, sexy, vibrant, wise, strong, powerful, stunningly beautiful works of living art. The people of the world have simply forgotten how to see your divinity, and we women have forgotten the art of reminding them how to s …

Times have changed! In 1900 only 2% of meals were eat OUTSIDE the home. In 2010 statistics show 50% of meals eaten outside the home, with 1 out of 5 breakfasts eaten at McDonalds. The typical American family eats together just THREE times a week, which means more meals are eaten on the road than at the table. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, (quoted in the NY Times), based on eating habits which children are learning from their parents, "for the first time in two centuries, toda …

If you are fed up of hanging around with people who's only idea of fun is computer games, boozing, snoozing or staring mindlessly at a TV for hours on end.

If you just don't have enough art related activities through the day and need to pack in an extra couple of hours outside of school or work. If you'd like to meet like minded individual …

This is a group for anyone interested in the work of Neale Donald Walsch and his Conversations with God books. I've read many different authors (and still do) yet something keeps drawing me back to CwG. Maybe it's the way Neale asks the questions I always wanted to ask yet had no one to ask them of... Perhaps it's the way he makes it all seem so doable, so grounded. I appreciate the way Neale makes his concepts so truly useful to daily life. I'd love to have a group of people who wish to explore …

Here in New Hampshire, where town-meeting local government, Yankee ingenuity and frugality are part of our heritage, finding local solutions to larger societal problems may be in our genes. A question worth asking in these difficult economic times is how can we tap these age-old community values to address new problems such as the ever-increasing cost of energy, the reliance on distant and anonymous suppliers to meet our local needs, and our ability to help one another through times of stress an …

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …
