Artdc.org
Artdc.org is an artist collective in the Washington, DC area with over 2000 artists of all mediums. Artdc.org has helped organize various artist-run initiative projects including group shows in transitional spaces.
According to their mission statement, artdc.org aims to bridge the communication gap between artists, galleries, and collectors through its online bulletin board forums and automated galleries as well as organizing face-to-face meetings and events. The forum provides a way to share techniques, self-promote, and discuss many themes of art. This aids cross-communication between various members of the art community and helps inspire new and different forms of creativity. Artdc.org provides individuals the opportunity to network and form relationships with others, allowing a stronger community to develop. Artdc.org represents the community, while artdc.com represents the art space and studios.
