But thats not art is it?

Quote of the day ... Salvador Dali Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.

About Me


We are a creative network we want to be a place on myspace where people who have a creative passion meet and communicate ideas. We are called 'But that's not art is it?', please read on to find out why. We want to hear from you.Art is such an objective thing we have all heard 'but that's not really art, is it?' banded about at anything that is not a landscape painting in one of our national galleries. So this is not just about our work or those of our close artist friends (but that does come into it of course!!!) it's about getting together as many arty/creative types as possible opening a dialogue, promoting and discussing each others work, broadening our horizons, supporting one another and showing the 'it's not art people' out there what we think is art!!! They may ignore us but hey! We are giving each other a chance to promote a positive vision of what being an artist is and what art can be....Please add our banner to your site or profile as the more people keen to befriend us the better! Having an on line DIY arty community is the best networking oportunity you can get!Thanks!
