Welcome to the Artist Project ~ A Community For Artists By Artists

artistPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago3 min read

The Artist Project is a joint project with @PoeticSnake & @TheBugIQ

The very first thing we want to convey is that this is a support project for artists and the arts.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of both @FreedomExists and his WhaleCoin token and @Vit with his DBread token.

By the arts, we mean dancing, singing, painting & drawing, both traditional and digital, writing in all genres, crafting art and goods, photography, film, cooking, foodies and more. Anything that can be considered an art form is of interest to the @Artist project. We want to see you shine!

The overriding concept of the Artist project is to strive for real world excellence. We want to build a community of people coming together to inspire each other and grow in knowledge and experience.

The definition of real world excellence is a simple standard.

Would someone who does not know you, and is not on the blockchain buy your art. Whatever it is. Your writing, your singing, your painting, your video, your crafted goods.

At the very least would they be attracted to your digital footprint and become part of your following, part of your patreon or other digital revenue streams. We are all for community support, but we also want to support artists to be successful in additional ways.

Snekky sells her art professionally and has for many years, and Bug has been a professional musician for over 30 years and music is his sole income.

Here is an example of @PoeticSnake’s Art

You can check out @TheBugIQ’s music at www.michaelarthurmusic.ca and here on Choon; and some of his photography on his Instagram thebugiq

The ARTIST Project and future ARTIST Token will orbit around the idea of self improvement with minimal guidance and maximum support.

We will work with themes and all take time to learn from one another, and to uplift and support artists as a community.

For example, Snekky and Bug will offer ideas from within their own skill sets.

Snekky will do guided art projects that the community can participate in and Bug will do a crash course in photography so that people can benefit from their unique perspectives.

We are not attempting to duplicate anyone else’s project although there will likely be overlap as with many projects on the platform.

As a team, we believe that more opportunities for artists are better than fewer. So we look forward to joining the ranks of other excellent artist support communities on WhaleShares.

We intend to build an extremely robust account and community and to issue the ARTIST token when we feel it can support the community and bring real value to our artists.

So pull out your notebook and pen, dust off your ukulele & warm up with a little vocal do re mi, pull out your knitting needles, put on your dancing shoes, grab your camera, crack your knuckles and get comfortable at the piano and start putting out your painting supplies.

We are very excited to see what people create!

We will be back very soon with a new post laying out our short term goals to bring the Artist community together.

For now, we will say we will be doing a weekly, informal Artist hangout. Launch date and time will be announced soon.
