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.

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.

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.

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.

The World of Toyism

_{-- Delivered by Feed43 service}


Toyism Art Movement - Netherlands - Emmen March 2, 2010 at 12:58 PM

	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.

Artist-Patron Register : Web 2.0 for artist business records management

2010-03-18T15:21:00.000-07:00

Simple. Artist-based workflow. Intuitive.

These are the characteristics of software that artists can really use to maintain records of participation in shows and exhibitions, limited edition printing and sales, gallery sales and other important aspects relating to the exhibition, sale and provenance of fine art.

Now, for the first time, a web 2.0 solution has emerged that offers top notch records management for artists. With each artist having their own separate database (to keep patron information safe) on the web and sharing the software and hardware infrastructure maintaining artist business records is finally easy, safe and accesible anywhere, anytime it is needed.

The Artist-Patron Register was developed as a means to keep records of artworks secure and organized while automating the production of Certificates of Authenticity catalogue lists, patron lists, and other useful information.

All with the security of being hostedon the web....we've never had it so good.

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.

The World of Toyism

Toyism Art Movement - Netherlands - Emmen February 12, 2010 at 10:59 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.

Botanical Artists of Canada - Canada - Toronto, ON January 10, 2010 at 6:47 AM

	In 2001, a group of artists working in the tradition of botanical illustration formed Botanical Artists of Canada (BAC). Our not-for-profit organization supports members through workshops, courses and critiquing sessions. Our quarterly newsletter informs members of upcoming opportunities to exhibit their work or to take courses offered through BAC or by others. We promote public awareness and appreciation of botanical art through juried exhibitions.
