If you’re looking for an online Zentangle® community to share your artwork, find inspiration, or simply pick up some helpful advice, then check out the many active Zentangle groups on Facebook. On Facebook, you’ll find everything from large communities where all tangle art is welcome to smaller groups with very specific art themes (e.g. “black tiles only”). Unfortunately, bad search algorithms and strict moderation against link sharing make it difficult to find everything available on Facebook. Therefore, I’ve created a list of all of active Zentangle Facebook groups so that everyone can easily find what they’re looking for.
General Interest Zentangle Facebook Groups
These are large communities with few, if any, restrictions on the types of tangle art allowed in the group. Expect to a see a wide variety of colorful tangle art on media other than tiles. If you’re looking for tangle art that is more “classic” or with a specific theme, then check out the more specific groups listed in the next section.
- Anything Goes – Tangled Art For Everyone
- Tangle All Around
- Tangle Folks
- Zentangle
- Zentangle Enthusiasts

I run a very small group of 6 that was on Line Weaving. com – but that forum closed up – so I took our “Once a week MOJO’s” to another forum. It would be nice to have more members. I usually post a new challenge on Fridays, a couple patterns and either a string or theme that is optional.
Hi Janelle,
I added your challenge to the List of Zentangle Art Challenges & Creative Prompts. I’ll also include it in the next Tangle List Update. Hope that brings some traffic your way.
Thanks for running a challenge! I’m sure it’s hard work, but it’s certainly appreciated.
Thank you so very much
Thank you for including my group Tangle All Around. Made me smile first thing this morning.
Thanks for running a Zentangle community! I’m sure it’s a challenge, but it’s a helpful resource to many.
