The Art Cooperative ...


The Art Cooperative

all this stuff with the ning groups has finally inspired me to really make one myself ...
one that will be a true cooperative ... where everyone is an equal member ... where no one is leader, no one is guru, no one is follower ~ we're all leaders, we're all gurus, we're all followers ... a place to be teacher AND student ... and where it's not about following or emulating one person or idea or style, but is about discovering for ourselves who we really are and then sharing that with others in our own unique ways ...

my vision is a place where people can come to learn and create in whatever way they feel is right for them ... where they're respected and nurtured and supported in whatever their creative path is ... to create relevant and active groups (i've always wanted to actually finish the artist's way!) ... to teach if you have something to teach, and to learn from fellow members ...

i may be teaching some classes ... portraits, figures and landscapes are what i do best ... what about you? ... do you have something to share, too? ... i'll definitely be inviting some people to have some classes ... art, writing, poetry, journaling, real goddess study, whatever there is an interest for ... and you can set up your own class as well ... we ALL have something to teach and we ALL have something to learn ...

i just now set it up so it's totally bare ... i haven't even put a pic on my own profile ... and while i've started this, i'm also a member like everyone else ... and i'd like YOU to be involved in creating it with me, right from the very beginning ... i think that together we can create great things ...

so, if you wish, please join us at ...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the email. I've felt the same way about certain nings. They have lost thier friendly feeling. These days I'm more comfortable at Gray Reef's ning but I'd love to check yours out too. Hope it takes off.
