There is a cultural revolution in our midst.

And it is not on the horizon, it is here. Come join, participate and revel in the beauty that is being created everyday, all around us. Come be a part of this novel act.

Starting out in Austin, Texas, Artopium's Roving Festival is the coming together of many new and unique artists featured on Artopium.com to perform and create art together. Witness live art being created by the artists on the spot while listening to some of the hottest new sounds performed by a myriad of up-and-coming local bands and musicians. Be prepared to see crazy new fashions designed by local fashion designers and many screenings of film shorts and trailers by local filmmakers. And all in one place!

As an artist, musician, fashion designer, author or filmmaker you can sell your Creative Works on Artopium.com including your CDs, DVDs, original paintings, prints, clothes, hand-made jewelry, and much more! To begin, simply click here to sign up . It is free, quick and easy.

Artopium is more than a gallery or online studio. Artopium aspires to be an all-inclusive index with an egalitarian approach to listing each artist. Artopium strives to help give a fair chance to unseen or unheard artists to display and sell their works to the global art and music markets. Artopium is a grass-roots organization of many people who are keen to work within local communities to bring local artists together, whether for events and mixed media shows, or to help collaborate on various projects.

To help start spreading the word, the owner and creator of Artopium.com, Michael Betthauser, ( personal Myspace page , couchsurfing.com page ) is beginning a bicycle tour of the U.S. and Europe. He will be stopping in every town possible (no matter how big or small), to play music , paint , and gather local artists for Artopium events. If you are in a band, or can help with Artopium's Roving Festival by providing any of the following, then please be a friend of this MySpace page, and be sure to check back often for blog updates, status, current location and show itinerary. If for no other reason add Artopium's Roving Festival as your friend because you think this is cool.
