AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

What I know about art:
art is fun
art can be messy
art surprises
art tells a story
art can keep a secret
art is curious
art is poignant
art saves lives
Art therapy is making art with a person who is educated about how art and your psyche relate. Working with a real Art Therapist (there is a master’s degree and nationally recognized credential for this field!) makes a difference. Because art making is so powerfully transformative huge shifts can come very quickly. It is important to know how to contain big feelings as they come up.
You might not know that some materials could be triggering to those of us that are carrying scary memories.

Already it was released, 5th album by berekekê. El águila robada (Stolen eagle) is a new vision about north-american icon. Spiritual, deep, mystical, the concept of the eagle is for the Indian tribes of North America a representative of the whole culture and a religion.

Traditional and classic instruments are mixed for this new album of berekekê

I grew up and have lived in the Boston area all my life. I have been taking pictures since I was a child, but didn’t go professional until early 2007. I am a source photographer for Boston Coasters (www.bostoncoasters.com) in Harvard Square, Boston, MA. My pictures are hung on consignment at The Inkwell in Amesbury and The United Front Co. in Revere (both in MA). I currently have have a Halloween show going on until the end of October, 2008. Starting November 1st I will have all now photographs hung. My pictures have appeared in The BostonNow newspaper, New England Sports Magazine, WCAT TV (local television program) and even on a CD cover and publicity photos (for Kyle Davis).

Hello, you gorgeous YOURPR.ORG people!

He said. She said. Dems said. Repubs said. The Presidential Election has been going on a LONG time, and I wanted to see what people thought about the process and what they were (or weren’t) getting out of it.

I have always been fascinated by “man on the street” interviews. So, I tried to conduct this segment like that. Granted, these are people I know, but I tried to keep it casual. Thanks to all of the folks who shared their opinions!

Look what Banksy's doing now:
