if there were a panel to represent new interactive media, art, community patronage and grants, society 6 is the ideal candidate to present the new wave of artists & curators. society 6 would offer potent insight and interaction for the attendees at sxsw about current issues in artistic networking.

Society 6 is my latest obsession and one that is here to stay because the community of artists that is growing there is a perpetual source of inspiration and opportunity for me. In the world of art and design, networking is so important to those who wish to make a living with the art they create. It is also a place where one can find constructive criticism, and of course, the various grants that are available. Society 6 is extremely important and a fantastic source for finding new artists, designers, and an overall view of current trends, styles, and talent in the art world. You need this!

This is such a fantastic thing. It's not simply a place to display work, but a place to make real connections with other artists and even get the chance to receive a grant or exposure AND in a respectable fashion. It's not just another one of those mass quantity stranger networking websites, but a genuinely supportive arena where artists can find what they need to survive! Personally, my work has now been featured on several mainstream blogs and I linked it all back to Society6.

I am thrilled with what Society6 is doing to help artists get the word out about themselves, as well as helping to promote each other. I think this discussion would be fascinating and very timely! I think what they are doing is incredibly unique (the grants, the promotions, etc.), and a panel led by the Society6 guys would be so inspiring!!
