Artists community

Hello Artists and Art fans.

As you may already know, some of the external services which we have used to support our community have not functioned as expected. Most specifically, the chat room has performed rather poorly– if and when it functions at all. The recent billing problems with the chat provider have convinced us it is time to make some changes.

We are considering ways to fund these upgrades. While doing so, we would also like explore new ideas on how to create a platform which better serves the community.

The Artists Connect Community belongs to all who participate. That’s why we would like your input so we may include features you really want or will be useful to you for promoting your artworks.

Please take a few moments over the next few weeks to contribute your thoughts by taking part in this discussion.
