They are run usually non profit by fellow artist volunteering their time and talents but latley I have been feeling that it's an environment run by little nasty. How can an artist looking for fellowship, networking and a place to exhibit grow in an place that feeds off of people that think they are better then the art museums. I have personally had to not get so involved because of that kind of behavior it robs me of good creative energies. Well I could go further but I was wondering if you have every looked into the ethics of the art leagues. I think they need some lesson on how to's Here we are encourage to join them but the end up becoming dictators to our souls for some... I was once told watch out! an art league can stomp on you so don't beleive all that you hear in them... And I watch people go stale.. how sad. any help for the art leagues and artist that join them. ~v~Laura Hi Alyson, One thing that I’ve not read about and wonder is the ethic of the art leagues and guilds.

I like to drop them a note and keep up my mailing list. Some galleries are very protective of these names.

Where do I release it? You say on the web, but where and to whom? Sorry if i've missed something but this isn't clear to me.
