Lately it seems I have been having lots of conversations
with artist friends about the need to support one another. Share ideas. Show
work together. Cheer each other’s’ successes. Hang out more often.
We often note that while the performing arts are by nature,
collaborative, visual artists tend to be lone wolves working in isolation. Yet
when we come together we have such a good time and thoughts practically bounce
off the walls. Inevitably we ask one another why we don’t come together more
often.
So, in view of the desire of many of us to mutually support
each other I have been toying with a name for our endeavor. Artists Rallying
Together? Artists Collaborating Together? (Redundant I know, but maybe that’s
okay). Artists Supporting Each Other? Creative Collaborative Arts Collective?
Greater Dayton Artists’ Collaborative?
Help me! Send me your suggestions for a group name that
defines artists in support of each other. I will list them in my blog!
And, I am happily noting one artist’s accomplishment. Doug
McLarty, scanographer extraordinaire, is currently featured in the Ohio
Governor’s Mansion! Check out his work: doug@signaturefocus.com,
