I'm looking for new members for my forum, Artistic Being. It’s a place for budding artists to develop and grow as well as get their work seen by others. It’s a great place to get advice from other artists and to talk in a secure environment. We have contests for all different categories such as visual arts, writing, singing, acting, dance, photography, and dance. Please consider! http://z13.invisionfree.com/Artistic_Being/index.php
