Art Project Boise


I got the opportunity to attend the latest meeting for an artist collaborative group called Art Project Boise. The group, founded by artist Candy Wilson, has been meeting for two years for the purpose of creating community amongst artists by getting to know each other, sharing ideas, and working together on projects. It's made up of numerous artists representing all styles and mediums. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I love, love, love when I see artists choosing to do something completely against their nature to isolate and taking the risk to get out of their comfort zone and join together for the purpose of community. We can learn so much from each other. We can be so much more together.

ART PROJECT BOISE
meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month
6:30pm at The Crux (1022 W. Main, Boise)
About the Group:
An inspirational springboard group designed for artists. We meet, we mingle, we share our work and information about events and opportunities within the art community. Open to all visual artists, musicians, dancers, writers...any creative medium. No limits: photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, mosaics, jewelry, multi-media, music, culinary arts, dance, dramatic performances, writing...all are welcome.

Mission:
To develop an open network of artists, in hopes of further developing skills and ideas, and providing support to one another in the name of creativity.
Overview:
Art Project Boise is a group of artists who meet on a monthly basis to share our work and ideas with like-minded people. Each month, the group establishes a theme word, which provides the inspiration for the artists' creativity. The following month, the artists meet to share their creative endeavors, and decide on the theme for the following month. All creative mediums, levels of expertise and ages are invited to join.
Description:
Please keep in mind that we do not practice censorship. Although we encourage you to share your work and events, this is not a business networking group, but rather a social gathering.
We invite you to share our page on Facebook and meetings with your fellow creative friends. If you are not in the Boise area or are unable to attend the monthly meetings, feel free to participate in the projects and share your work with the group on Facebook.
