# Community Events and Meetups We host a number of community events and meetups at the hackerspace. Some of these events happen regularly, while others are one-off. Some are directly organized by Root Access, and others are organized by other groups or members of the community. Anyone may organize a meetup, and we do not charge to host meetups that are free and open to the public. Some community events and meetups we regularly host include: [ArtHop](https://www.fresnoartscouncil.org/programs/arthop) : A monthly arts event, held on the first Thursday of each month in the Tower District and Downtown Fresno. [Fresno Python](https://fresnopython.com/) : A monthly meetup for folks who use (or want to learn) the Python programming language. Sip 'n' Stitch : A monthly crafting social meetup, where folks hang out and work on knitting, crochet, or embroidery projects. ...any many more that are [listed on our calendar](https://rootaccess.org/calendar/). ## Groups and Clubs In fostering a community, it's natural to bring together groups of members to meet, share and gain feedback on their making or on some aspect of Root Access itself, such as a shop area, on a short or long-term basis. Any members interested in starting a new meetup should get in touch with Root Access leadership.
