Belfast Organization for Artists

We are off to a slow start but it is a start.
The next meeting is scheduled for March 3rd at 5pm. I hope to see more people there.
Our Mission
- assist artisans to create work and make it available to the public, provide area artisans with links to information, resources, and calls for artists; exchange ideas and skills knowledge, create new opportunities to show work in the Belfast Area, provide area artisans with publicity, collaborate with existing Allegany County Arts organizations, learn more about the BUSINESS of art.

Featured Artist

Tim Burton at MOMA until April 2010

My daughters and I went to see this amazing collection of works at MOMA over the weekend.
The online representation is good but nothing beats seeing it all in person. If you have the opportunity to see this show don't miss it. 
This is truly a case of quality and quantity in one location. Although I do not know much about his personal biography I suspect that somewhere along the way and art teacher told him to continue using this as a tool to express himself. All it takes is one voice of encouragement. (I am sure there were many who opposed his particular form of expression.)
