How about an Artist's Group?

[MelanieArt]

Surprisingly, I've looked and couldn't find any mention of proposing an Artist's group!

It could center around issues facing visual artists, selling work, working full time as a professional artist, improving one's work, motivation, and how current events have influenced and inspired our art. Oh, and we could share our work, too! :)

A good mission statement might be to create a haven for progressive artists to share, relate, assist, inspire and chat. It would be of interest to all kinds of visual artists, I personally work in the comics/fantasy industry but I can relate to many kinds of artists and know that most other artists do as well. :)

So, who would be interested in participating in an Artist's Group?

1. I came across a graphics group

Does that sort of cover it? If not, count me in for a group for artists.

3. Thanks! I saw the Graphics Group

but from what I saw I think it is more aimed towards Photoshoppers and computer graphics (which is also a lot of fun, but we old fashioned types could use our own place to talk too. :)

4. I use all sorts of things

Computer to make images and then use them for hands on finished pieces. So an artists group would be great - if you'll have me!

Edit - Do you belong to this site? It's really great for art of all kinds. Thought to mention it since the people are fantastic. http://wetcanvas.com/

7. can we expand the definition?

To include musicians and performers? I think that artists of all kinds face a unique set of challenges living in a police state.
