I think it's a great idea too! Let's hope our wiki site is up soon too so we can start our artist/artisan guide.

What about extending the idea to "The Visual Arts" which means drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, interior, graphic//web design, ceramic, photography and so on.
(A tip already - IKEA do very good frames.)

...and performing arts. Musicians etc.

Do I deduce from this we have a musician/performing artist aboard?
I have no problem with the group title (so long as it is clear) - the more the merrier (including your suggestions Sally).

Great idea Persephone . Go for it and see what happens, you have a core of potential members already.
The only problem I see is that a lot of us live quite a distance from one another, which can be a bit frustrating when you hear of things outside your area.
I am a member of an Abruzzo Art group which is just starting to plan an exhibition and which produced a stunning calendar for Christmas (actually it is down to the wonderful creative energy of one member who drove it all forward)

There are quite a few groups about painting (choose your medium!) on [url=http://www.flickr.com]Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing[/url] which might be of interest - snd some of them are quite interactive. But start a group here - why not!

I think there are others better qualified for that position. :laughs:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
OK, someone else can be the p*ss artist, I'll be the Government artist - and draw the dole. (groan)

Nielo and Juliancoll.
If you are not going to take my New Group seriously and you are going to lower the tone of my thread, you are both BANNED.
I intend to be a very strict moderator.

Hey Persephone... it shouldn't be a problem - just add a sub group for
"Different Art" (aka 'The Nuts')

I [I]like[/I] this - A SUB GROUP. Could act like a 'sin bin' too.
Trouble is, I know exactly '[B][I]what [/I][/B]might turn up' :frown:

In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Well you can of course put "undesirables"on one of these infamous Ignore Lists ..... lol By doing that the Moderator has REAL POWER in their grasp Heaven help us. lol
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Can I be in a sub group for mime artists?
Or am I already banned?
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Nielo - lets set up a group for "undesirables" - we are guaranteed to have at least one member. :bigergrin:

Well not exactly a performing musician, but I do jam with some of the best musicians of the Lunigiana, some of them happen to be my next door neighbours. I'm more of an organiser of events, although very informally. We had a group of French musicians play together with Lunigiana musicians informally on the little piazza outside our house. We're also friends with the owners of a music pub in the area. And as I said to you before, we have all kinds of art in part of our palazzo during the summer, exhibitions, performances of theatre, music and poetry. So I just have a general interest.
Have you set up the group yet?
Excellent idea Persephone! Self help groups always work.
