Introduction

Hello to all...

I've started this blog, along with the help of at least 2 others and likely many more to come, in order to get information out to the artisans along the Gulf Coast who were so severely affected by the 2005 hurricane season.

While I most likely will be the only one posting the information, I will be crediting those who send me the information.

Please review all posts regularly. I will most likely be reworking them to group similar information together as time goes on.

Please post comments regarding this information, and if you have any other information you think will be helpful to your art community. I will most likely include it in posts with similar information. To Post A Comment - scroll to the bottom of the post you'd like to comment about. In the bottom right, there is a hyperlink that states "o comments" (or 1,2,3, etc comments). Click on that link. It will open a new window where you can write whatever you wish. If you'd like me to respond to you, put your email address in. If you are a fellow blogger, sign in, and people can find your blog that way as well. Once you finish writing the comment, you'll have to type in a series of letters. This is only to avoid spammers. Yes, spammers.

Together, we can bring the art community back to the thriving industry (dirty word, I know) it was before August, 2005.
