Hi Everyone,

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Colin Rusch. I am the Community Manager for mnartists.org. These forums are an integral part of mnartists.org's effort to build a comprehensive online resource for Minnesota based artists. There is space for socializing in The Lounge. We have multiple places for discussing concerns about the arts in The Salon, The Plaza, and other topical forums. And we have a growing information area with the Information/Resource Center where you can find space listings, wants ads, classifieds, classes, web resources, and more.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the community in the Say Hello thread in this forum. Simply login, or create an user account if you do not already have one, click reply on the last post in the thread, and post your message.

Before starting, there are a few additional bits of information about the forums that you should know. Along with myself, Sam Spiczka and Lauren DeSteno host these forums. They can answer any questions you have and facilitate any difficult situations that may occur. We intend for these forums to be civil and respectful. Please help us keep them that way. mnartists.org's terms of use can be found at http://www.mnartists.org/article.do?rid=14307. If you have any questions, please contact me at colin.rusch@walkerart.org.

Thanks for stopping in and happy discussing.

Colin

Hello all,

My name is Sam Spiczka and I'll be one of your moderators for this evening as well though by far, Colin is the main man around these parts! I am a local sculptor creating primarily large-scale, outdoor steel sculptures. I managed to put down the welding gun long enough to visit the forums and look where it got me!

I hope you will enjoy taking part in our community here. Remember, it is only as good or as bad as we all together decide to make it. If you have any suggestions or concerns, I can be reached at: samspiczka@hotmail.com

Welcome!

I am Lauren DeSteno, your other friendly forum moderator. By day, I am mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent ... no, wait... actually, I split my time between my day job as a media director for a non-profit in Minneapolis, attending school at the University of Minnesota, and helping out here in the forums.

I really enjoy working with technology, and I also enjoy answering your technology questions in the "Lauren Explains It All" thread, so ask away!

I hope that you enjoy the mnartists.org community and help us make it into a vital resource for artists across the state. If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached here on the forums, or via email at lauren_desteno@yahoo.com.

Hello my name is Kendra Nielsen and I am not an artist, but a very loving artist supporter! My partner is an artist and I watch the struggle and work everyday. I am here to find out the best forum for artists and how to finance projects or find grants for non artists but for artist reasons. I hope to get to know you all better in the future.

Yes, Welcome Kendra!

Since there are no real qualifications/restrictions to being an artist, I'd say just go ahead and apply for regular artist grants and see what happens. If you have "artistic reasons" in mind, I'd say you're in the same boat as everyone else.

Hi my name is Regina and I am an artist. Hey, that sounds like some kind of AA thing... I mean not that I'd know....

I paint sometimes, I draw sometimes... I'm going to go to the Aveda Institute and see what I can learn about the artistic arrangement of people's hair. I'm from Los Angeles, stopped in Georgia for a bit and now I'm coming to a loft near you. ...anybody know where I can find one available for me and 2 cats starting 3/1/04? Let me know.

Muchas Gracias.
