Muskoka Arts & Crafts is a non-profit organization that is completely self-supporting. Its annual Christmas, Spring Members' and Who Art Thou events feature the work of its many members, and the Chapel Gallery in Bracebridge, which Muskoka Arts & Crafts calls home, hosts an ongoing c! ycle of juried exhibitions by local and visiting artists. Muskoka Arts & Crafts' Summer Show, which has been a feature in the community for 47 years, attracts hundreds of artists from across the country, and is visited each year by over 20,000 people.

Whopple.com - United States - Internet Based-We Feature Artists At No Cost
May 27, 2010 at 1:35 AM

No Picture

Whopple.com features two to three artists every week. Our goal is to provide more exposure for both emerging and established artists. As a retired Internet Media Publicist, I now donate this time to my featured artists at Whopple. The features are fun and inspiring to read and give an inside look at the artist.

I provide free publicity for every artist featured at Whopple.com. There are no charges to become involved. To be featured please write to me at:
whopple@whopple.com and include a link to your artwork online.

All artists must provide at least 3 jpg pics of artwork, and a picture of themselves. A picture of their art space is also fun but not mandatory. Every artist featured at Whopple.com must have a website where more of their art is featured. This can be their own blog, or an Etsy shop, etc., but it must be solely dedicated to their art.

We love arti! sts!

Merrickville Artists Guild - Canada - Merrickville, ON
May 27, 2010 at 1:35 AM


Merrickville modestly claims to be Canada's prettiest village - a claim you will find well founded if you visit here either in summer or winter. Merrickville is also home to the Merrickville Artists' Guild, or MAG as we like to call ourselves. As a group of local artists we formed a guild in 1984 to help promote our work. Some of the original artists are still with us, along with many others now, who offer a wide variety of interests in art and craft. Most of us are open year round, by chance or appointment, and we still hold our annual Studio Tour and Sale in the fall. At that time if you decide to visit you know for sure we will be at home in our studios waiting to welcome you..... But come by at any time of the year. There's lots to see and Merrickville is a lovely place to be. There's a 'feeling' about it all.

Dawson CIty Art Society - Canada - Dawson City, YK
May 27, 2010 at 1:35 AM


In the spring of 1998 a group of local artists, with a deep breath and a leap of faith, decided that art education, based in Dawson City, was an idea whose time had come.

They formed the Dawson City Arts Society (DCAS), a non-profit organization, with a mandate to create an environment for advancement of the arts.

In the autumn of 1998, DCAS obtained the historic Odd Fellows Hall in Dawson City.

With generous assistance from Governments, NGOs and the private sector (and countless hours of enthusiastic volunteer participation) major renovations were undertaken and the neglected structure was successfully resurrected.

In December 1999, KIAC proudly commenced operations.

Women's Art Society of Montreal - Canada - Montreal, PQ
May 27, 2010 at 1:35 AM


Founded in 1884 and incorporated in 1968, the Women's Art Society of Montreal has played an important role in fostering awareness and understanding of the arts among the general public of the city. As one of the earliest organizations for women artists, the Women's Art Society of Montreal helped pave the way for the integration of women into the art world. Nowadays, the Women's Art Society is more social and educational than professional in nature since various opportunities and avenues of support are open to female artists.

Growing and evolving over the years, the Women's Art Society of Montreal has remained faithful to its basic ideals, and as the organization enters its second century of activity, the tradition of promoting the literary, musical and visual arts remains its primary goal.

The World of Toyism

-- Delivered by Feed43 service


Toyism Art Movement - Netherlands - Emmen
May 27, 2010 at 1:35 AM


1992 – Present
"Once upon a time, in an Emmen, Netherlands basement, an art movement named "Toyism" was born from one Mother and many fathers." Doesn't that sound like a good story starter? Actually, the time was 1992, Mother is an inanimate object and the fathers may be male or female - but none of these facts detract from the good story part. Here, just listen …

Toyism came about partly as a countermeasure to two decades' worth of that which might be construed as an increasing "anything goes" Post-Modern individualism. The 1970s-1990s environment, that fostered works such as a fleck of human faces on a piece of paper, was long on sensation but often short on traditional skills. Fittingly, Toyism was born in the Netherlands where the time-honored craft of painting never quite went out of fashion.

Dejo, a visual artist and musician living in Holland wrote a manifesto and, together with two other! visual artists, introduced Toyism to the public.

Moeder/Mother
Moeder, which is Dutch for "mother," is the manifesto of the Toyists. Mother's contents are known only to the current Toyists, one Toyist emeritus and the notary public who affixed his seal to Mother on April 23, 1993 in Emmen. Do we need to know Mother's contents? We don't. All that is important is that we know three things.

1. Mother provides a framework for creation
2. Every Toyist's creation is embraced as a new flirtation for Mother.
3. Mother was revised in October of 2002 in order to attract younger artists to Toyism.

Who are the Toyists?
Upon joining the group, each Toyist selects a pseudonym that must begin with a letter of the alphabet not already in use by another Toyist. After this point, and regardless of how one signs his or her rent checks, the artist signs all works with the chosen pseudonym. Why? It's a collective, yo! u see. It's faceless. We fans of Toyism are not meant to sin! gle out John Q. Famous Artist or Jane Dough, Media Darling.

Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League - United States - PIttsburgh
May 26, 2010 at 10:50 PM


The Pittsburgh Pastel Artist League was formed in 2002 by Dr. Pat Bianco. She was looking for other pastel artists in the Pittsburgh area and placed
an ad in the local paper and was bombarded with other pastelists with the same idea. We are a loose group....no typical meetings..mostly E-letters
containing info on exhibits, supplies, artists' accomplishments, websites, etc. When we do meet, we have fun...usually a business meeting first, lunch, and a
paint out.
