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.

Hello all I have an online shop on Zazzle and would appreciate it if you would take the time to browse and view products. If you see something you like, shop as well. However, views do help with rating products in the market place. So, if you get a few spare moments check it out for me.

Thank you

"Es war einmal ein Maler, der sich schon in seinen Jugendjahren von dem akademischen Leben und der Stadt aufs Land zurückzog. Er kaufte sich einen kleinen Bauernhof, ging hinter dem Pflug, arbeitete mit dem Spaten und verwandelte ein ödes Stück Heideland in einen traumhaften Fruchtgarten. Seine künstlerische Tätigkeit wurzelte ganz in dieser eigenen Schöpfung: ein kleinbürgerlicher Romantiker, der das Gefühl hatte, daß ihn dieser kleine Besitz unabhängig und frei mache. Die Erlebnisse seiner Jugend waren: der Garten, der Frühling, die Liebe zu einer Frau. Alle seine Empfindungen kleidete er, da es schöne und ruhige Empfindungen waren, in die schönen und ruhigen Formen vergangener Zeiten (Die Kunst der Minnesänger war ihm nah).
