Expat Artist Networking
July 14, 2008
From Artsie comes a great site for all of the expat artists out there to meet and collaborate:
Artist Networking Site: http://expatartsnetwork.ning.com/
3C world is the facebook of creativity. The aim for 3C is to focus on ‘bringing the world closer together through creative endeavors’. The site provides a platform to be successful in the country in which you find yourself. We focus on the word ‘creative’ rather than arts because we want to be open to both commercial and applied arts. Also, if you a visual, performance, written artist; curator, critic, designer, or perhaps just interested in the creative arts…ect. there are groups for you.
Come join the community.
