It's been an interesting year for AMP -
somewhat calmer than last year, when there
were parties in LA (twice), NYC, Berkeley and
Amsterdam - but my day job, teaching
Sociology full-time at the university,
requires a good bit of attention and energy,
and keeping AMP running on my own takes a lot
too. That said, the Body of Art exhibit in
March (click
here to see the art and reception
pictures) was an outstanding show, AMP's
November Party (click
here to see pictures) was a really good
time with about 225 guests, our membership is
at 3700, and the
website is getting about 10,000 hits per day
from people in 50-100 countries (depending on
the month). Erotic AMP is still in
development, as I'm working to make it a
first-rate show, in a strong and appropriate
gallery, with a schedule of speakers and
entertainment for the run of the show. New
calls, opportunities, and member art and
music are constantly being posted on our
website - more about those below.
DONATE
But now - the end of the year - is a good
time to ask for two things: feedback (also
known as your
2 cents) and contributions (for example,
5 dollars). Actually, your 5 dollars and 2
cents would be great. AMP costs money to run
(we'll talk about energy some other time),
and every month, it all comes straight out of
my pocket (donations this year have paid for
only about 1 1/2 months of webhosting). If
you've ever benefited from AMP
- if you
- post your art, poetry, songs on the
website
- found an interesting new contact through
AMP
- stayed on an AMP member's sofa
- applied to a call posted in AMP and got
your work in a show
- posted your call on the AMP website
- used the long list of art magazine links
on AMP
- learned about something useful from AMP's
World Art Directory or Online Resources
- got some inspiration from news in a
fellow member's blog on AMP
or were helped by AMP in any other way, it
would be so very nice if you would contribute
some small amount of money. You can use
AMP's PayPal link (also on the website) by
clicking here or, if you'd rather use the
postal service, AMP's address is
AMP: Artists Meeting Place
P.O. Box 292198
Los Angeles, CA, 90029
If you want to send more than 5 bucks, that's
great! But 5 bucks is just fine -
and good to hear your 2
cents on more ideas for AMP.
Then read on below for more ways to connect

DONATE
Almost every day, new opportunities are
posted on AMP - mainly from stuff that comes
into my email inbox, but also from AMPers
with ways to help each other. Ned
Buskirk regularly posts reminders that
he'll help you create - and then host - your
own podcast, free!
And if you want to know how to get your very
own crisp, clear personal website - your own
address, not a group hosting site like
MySpace - for a very low price (discounted
for AMP members), email me at
[email protected].
Below are other opportunities that posted
recently on AMP:
and many
more...
