Artists Community

A week or so ago, my friend Michelle and I were sitting on her front stoop and talking about all of our musical and artistic friends.

We came to the the conclusion that even though almost everyone we know is artistically inclined, most of them do not have the motivation to do anything with that ability.

So we decided to attempt to change that.

Michelle is an artist, musician, and songwriter.

I am a rather mediocre wordsmith.

but together we are attempting to create a community where artists of all types can come together and compete with one another.

yes, i said compete.

see, having talent without focus is wasted talent. by having a group of people who challenge each other to come up with new ideas, improve old ideas, honestly critique others’ work, and push each other to reach their full potential, we can help each other grow and expand!

currently, Michelle and I are looking at a monthly gathering.

Monthly gatherings are good to start out with, because it gives everyone time to prepare themselves.

you see, each month, anyone who attends must present something they have worked on. It could be a finished work, or a work in progress. It could be a song, a poem, a story, a painting, a sculpture, a quilt, a tapestry, a video, a game… anything.

Anything you are passionate about, anything that you create, is fair game!

so, if you are interested in joining this venture, feel free to contact me for more information. currently, the musicians are the majority, but i hope to change that and make a more even spread of artistic jelly. mmmmm jelly…

we are also working on a name for the group. any ideas for that are welcome too.

  3. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you
    don’t mind. I was interested to find out
    how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out
    there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Thanks!

  5. I think that everything posted was very logical.
    However, what about this? suppose you added a little content?
    I am not suggesting your information is not good, but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Artists
    Community – rpg punk is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s front
    page and note how they create post headlines to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about
    everything’ve written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
