AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

AMP connects artists and behind-the-scenes collaborators of all genres, including musicians, painters, performance artists, writers, dancers, and many more, with resources, opportunities, and personal connections. Many AMPers also provide free temporary lodging for other members. With thousands of members in 86 countries, AMP enthusiastically and energetically builds bridges between artists, audiences, and producers through our website, as well as at AMP-hosted parties and multimedia events worldwide. AMP is free to join. The only 'cost' is your energy and enthusiasm in building a global artistic community and helping fellow artists.

monoprint made using etching, inkjet and tradigital, chine colle, plus wood offset.

I have made a blog about how artist printmakers combine traditional printmaking techniques such as intaglio and relief print, with inkjet output.

L.A. City Council to Strangle Artists

L.A. City Council to Strangle Artists

Dear Friends,

I rarely send/share or post any blogs before to you but this needs to be shared with as many people as possible. Feel free to forward this to all your friends - just follow the forwarding directions below.

This information, from Newtown, an Altadena arts organization, can affect everyone who loves the arts in our great City.

As you probably know, Los Angeles is one of the biggest supporters of individual artists. They allow us to bring unusual, experimental and "fringe" performances, events, and residencies to everyone free of charge or for very modest prices.

Please help by taking any or all of the actions described below.

Thanks so much for your help and support.

Peace,

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

Dear Supporter & AMP members

The arts in Los Angeles are in crisis and they need your voice.
The City of Los Angeles Budget and Finance Committee has put forward a motion to eliminate the Department of Cultural Affairs' dedicated source of revenue.

Voice your support to maintain the only dedicated revenue source for neighborhood art and culture in the City of Los Angeles.

Take two minutes and send your city council member an email. Remind your Council Member that the arts:

Make money
Attract tourists
Attract businesses
Arts, like parks, are for everyone
