The actual creation of art is often a solitary process. But what and who inspired you? What did you see, hear, or touch that moved you to think or feel differently? And who led you to that experience? The people who lead us to inspiration are invaluable. They exist everywhere, but how do we know who they are, and how to find them? How much more inspiration could we find if we shared our artist communities? Here’s a great resource for those who want to know about what’s going on in Los Angeles: AMP member fumiko amano’s event list. Every week, Fumiko puts together a fantastic guide to art events in Los Angeles - some widely known, many known only to a few - that helps to keep those on the list in the know. You can check her website - http://soniclady.livejournal.com/ - weekly, and you can also put yourself on the emailing list. I’d love to know about lists and websites like this that exist for any and all other cities in the world. Do you know of any? Please send me your links, so we can expand the AMP community’s possibilities even more. And to expand via another kind of community, visit http://www.myspace.com/ampartists - that’s right, AMP now has its own MySpace page. Become one of AMP’s “friends” on MySpace!
