I have a friend who is very well known in the art world as one of the top folk artists of our times. She's in the Smithsonian as well as many other prestigious museums, books, etc., throughout the world. That's about all I'll say about her at this point. But if we have enough interest here, because I know we have enough artists here, she would be willing to help us get a cluster art show going. Now, what I need to know before I talk to her anymore about it is if there is an interest in doing something like this. Right now I just need to know how many people would want to, and would, put something(s) into such a show. Any visual art would work (paintings, sculptures, etc) probably and maybe even any theme, though the cluster theme would probably be best. If there's enough interest the rest of the details will be looked at and worked with. This has the potential of bringing a lot more publicity to clusters. Not saying it'll be a household name, but it could sure help. Anyway, e-mail me or post here so I can get a rough idea of the numbers and see if I should follow this up with her.

Sounds like a good idea from here. I'm not much at visual art, so I don't have anything to contribute, but from what I've seen from the artists on the board, I'm sure something could be put together. PFDAN.............................. Drk^Angel

What a great idea!!! JD are you out there? JD's art would be perfect to start it off. He's the one who drew the now famous "clusterhead' that I believe is one of our logo's. Unfortunately, I can't draw a stick figure. Linda Howell

Ted, I could ask my Cees, who contributed art to Elaine's site, some time ago. It is not cluster art but looking at some, it might be. Maybe you saw it?

I only draw dirty pictures but an art show is a great idea. Perfect way to illustrate to others the pain we suffer.

One offer to contribute isn't going to make this happen. Since there's no real interest other than in theory only, might as well forget it. OK everyone. Back to complaining about how no one understands clusters and that there's a they not willing to put in any effort to do anything for us.

That's 12:53 yesterday, Jonny. Not this afternoon. I'll give it time. I wouldn't close the idea down. Just watching a certain pattern emerge again with many people already having read it and only one offer. But that would be cool if JD got something in it. He does great work.

Maybe only one of the people who have looked at it was an artist. Don't get down on everyone. Your offer is really only aimed at the artists.

As Jonny and Bob said, Let the idea cook for awhile. I open this thread every time I see a new post has been added and I suspect others have too, so the "count" keeps climbing. I suspect that those of us that don't have a lot of artistic talent are watching to see what happens with this very good idea. Marc

Ted I think it's an awesome idea. I'm no artist, but I can do ceramics, frames, clocks and the like. Jonny really liked his OUCH frame, so if that stuff would be helpful I'd be glad to put it to work. Just lemme know what it is you are looking for.

Well, I don't have any paintings that I have already done that are CH related. I do mostly landscapes. And I haven't done any real painting in a long time...since I started really getting into computer art. But...I have a blank canvas...It has been sitting around forever....and I have tried before to get shown....(they mostly only wanted "modern" art ie "something to go with my couch" idiots!) So, I guess it would be....yeah! I am interested! Course, not being in cycle right now...not sure whether a cluster theme will be true to the pain...but... Damnit! I'm in! Sherry

Ya know I could always make the frames for the artworks with the OUCH on it if you are still interested in keeping this going.....here's the photo of the frame again: this is only for a 4x6 photo but I can make em bigger or shaped different etc. Cat p.s. Jonny can tell you whether they are good or not, he got the one auctioned.

Ok Ted, don't get discouraged. I have been thinking about this since you posted it. My mom is an artisit ... local kind of thing, but she does sell her work, and displays in galleries (local). I also have a nephew who has done some really bizzare art work that just graduated from art school, and another nephew in art school. If you are looking for stuff that is not cluster related ... just art .... I can sure help out. I am sure all of them would be willing to donate a piece of their artwork for the cause. I also got in touch with NightOwl who is also in to art and asked her if she would be interested in helping out the cause. Cyndra is also an artist (she was an active member of this board until recently) ... I could get in touch with her. Need to know ... exactly what were you thinking of ... If you are looking for people to donate art for sale and perhaps make it a fund raiser for ouch ... were you looking for just cluster head art .... Need to get a little more direction that's all. I do appreciate the suggestion !!!!

Thanks for the responses. Looks like there is an interest in this. Cat, I like your frames too. If you all could post or e-mail me roughly how many works you'd have to show it should help to determine if we'll have enough for a show. Thanks again.

Ted, I need to know if the works have to be ch related. I haven't done any paintings that illustrate ch. I have approx. 13 paintings here, but would have to take pics of them (I used to have them up on a site but finances wouldn't allow me to keep the site. And... I lost the pics of them when I reformatted my puter...stupid mistake on my part) to send to you to see if you wanted them. And if I am to do a new piece, I would need to know when it needs to be finished ( I normally work pretty fast, but I have a terrible time getting started) Sherry

I'm going to be lazy and just copy and paste from my initial message for your question. Any visual art would work (paintings, sculptures, etc) probably and maybe even any theme, though the cluster theme would probably be best. As for timeframe? I don't have one to offer you yet.

Sorry, Ted, didn't mean to act as if I hadn't read your original post, just thought you could pin it down a little more as to whether or not it definitely should be cluster related, and if we were talking 2 wks, 2 months, 2 years, you know, just ball park. nevermind (remember old saturday night live? What was that characters name....? can't remember...) Sherry

Ted, as we discussed in private emails ... I won't be submitting any work for my family members since they are not cluster heads nor direct supporters (?). I did however contact Cyndra and Night Owl as promised but have received no response.
