A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
- Henrik Ibsen
In the Brandon Artists Guild we all lend a hand with whatever needs to be done. To me, Ibsen's quote isn't so much about who is the captain, but how essential it is that the entire crew contributes to the whole.
Who and what are we? A community of artists in the wonderful Vermont village of Brandon, banded together nine years ago to support each other's creativity as well as our efforts to market our art. We have done pretty well thus far, but as the group has grown it has become increasingly difficult to maintain the sense of camraderie that gve us such energy at the beginning of this adventure.
I hope that this blog will help to change that.
It is intended as a forum for discussion and as a means of staying in touch, for BAG members. I hope that members will read, enjoy, suggest and comment. When you do comment, please do so publicly... not as a private post to me, although I love those too! It's about camraderie!
Part of the reality of the web is that connectivity begets connectivity.
In other words, the more ways we are linked, by posts, by web links etc. the more visible we are on the web, which means more potential business for all of us.
In order to post, you do have to join Vox. The reason I picked Vox is that it's FREE, very user friendly, and in the year that I have been posting @ my own blog (www.elizabethmyers.vox.com) I have had no problems at all. So please don't be worried about joining. You can read it without joining but you can't post a comment.
If you have a website, please let me know and I will post it on the links
So I'm going to put this on line now, and let all the guild members know about it!
It's bitter out tonight! Stay warm!
