The Thriving Artist Project
I’ve said before that I wanted to help, and now we’re going to do it.
Many months ago Marty and I came up with a cunning plan to help struggling artists into the digital universe. It’s incredibly important for a new artist to have a presence on the web. If it’s done right, the artist’s visibility can skyrocket — and when your work is about visual media, you need it to be seen. Especially with my eye on Youngstown this year, I know that there are brilliant artists out there who just need the right break, who can do amazing things. (Well hell — I’m living with one!)
Our plan was solid, and we took it forward. We’re calling it the Thriving Artist Project and you can consider it officially launched. We’re starting things off with the inimitable Karen Wennberg. If you’d like more information (who wouldn’t?) you can check out the Thriving Artist Project page at Virtual Magpie Design. If you want to help out, you can find her contact information there, or you can feel free to Digg, del.icio.us or otherwise bookmark that page. You can definitely help us by spreading the word, if you are so inclined; and I daresay I’d be grateful if you did!
If you’re not as excited as I am, you obviously haven’t read the project page yet.
