I’m starting a new Yahoo group called Art Connect and I hope you will join and soon find it useful.
As artists who mostly live and work far apart in Northern Minnesota, we really don’t have a tight knit community. Many of us like to be studio hermits, or simply just can’t get into town that often to meet fellow artists. There are times when we all need a little help from the art community. Art Connect is the newest attempt to help build that community online. No difficult trips into town and no coordinating meetings. Art Connect is a discussion and information group for artists living in Northern Minnesota who want to:
- Exchange ideas
- Collaborate on projects
- Post exhibitions announcements
- Post other art opportunities
- Buy, sell, trade equipment or services
It’s a free group which you can be an active part in or just join in when it suits you. You can opt to get the group postings in an email or check the group online. Because its a reasonably local group it might be more useful to you than other online resources. You can for example:
- Get rid of old supplies and tools (Buy, sell, trade, give)
- Ask for help or technical advice on a project
- Find equipment for a project
- Find artists working in the same media and share ideas
- Post an exhibit opportunity
- Post your own exhibition announcements
I hope you will join. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artconnect/
