Call to Artists

First of all, thanks for clicking....Seriously

I'm pretty blunt and straight to the point. A bit opinionated at times but strive to balance it all with

common sense and fairness.

I'm a good guy and I appreciate good people. I appreciate art in all it's forms and most of the people

who are involved with the arts.

The Internet is just great I think.

I love how it shrinks down the world and how we can connect and learn about any subject we are

interested in and meet people we would have never met without it.

But...

What about our own back yard? Our town, our community...where we live... for real, flesh and blood interaction with people who appreciate and are involved with what we are into. 

The ARTS 

RIGHT BRAINED

 CREATIVE PEOPLE

The Internet is a great tool for sharing information and networking. But it doesn't do justice to most art forms because you can't capture the experience of the painting or performance as well on a monitor and speakers as you can by being there.

We (Christine and I) were very frustrated driving beyond Port Angeles, the town where I was born before color was invented... all the way to Port Townsend's Gallery-9 because there wasn't enough art galleries, shows, whatever, in Port Angeles to let people see Christine's paintings.

The first "Party at Grays" we went to showed us that a yearning for art people getting together is alive and growing in Port Angeles. Bob Stokes had a lot to do with this current growth.

The synergy of like minded people to explode Port Angeles into more of an art town is something we wanted to be part of so this site was born out of that.

We want to include anyone into any of the arts regardless of where you think you fit in as far as being a so called "established artist" or not...right here on this site as sort of a hub... to tell the world about your art here on a page dedicated to you or, if you prefer, a link to your website or perhaps myspace pages.

That way, we can be involved in the arts, not just as spectators, relying on what the other sites are telling us about...we can create events right here out of the networking we can do.

Imagine a get-together art event that includes performing artists such as dancers and musicians with displays by painters and sculptors and other performing artists, hmmm. comedy? With the public invited to be part of it all. We can do such things.

I highly recommend myspace.com for those of you who want a lot of content, your own blog and especially a place for larger music and video files to be stored.

We will have a search feature on this site after I get more artists involved with this project.

So...please. Send me your stuff.

Thanks...
