Social Networking - Building an Artist Community!
At this point in time, Social Networking plays an important role in how we can communicate with other artists. Over the last many years we have developed a very large Yahoo group to serve your artistic needs. All artists are invited and welcomed to participate. Our goals are two fold...inform and answer questions as they relate to our favorite brand of professional artist acrylic paint - Traditions, while at the same time create an opportunity to raise the level of art education across our painting communities. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/traditionsartist/ |
