Online Salon with The Interstitial Arts Foundation
Posted by ElizabethGenco on Thursday, December 6 2007 at 11:12 am
The Interstitial Arts Foundation’s next online salon will be all about US! Woot!
First things first: What is the Interstitial Arts Foundation? From their mission statement:
“The IAF was founded by a group of literary, visual, musical, and performance artists for the purpose of creating and promoting Interstitial Art. What is Interstitial Art? It is art made in the interstices between genres and categories. It is art that flourishes in the borderlands between different disciplines, mediums, and cultures. It is art that crosses borders, made by artists who refuse to be constrained by category labels.”
What is an online salon? Just a fun term for an online discussion.
Here are the deets:
WHEN: Saturday, Dec. 8-Saturday, Dec. 15
WHERE: http://p081.ezboard.com/finterstitialartsfrm2.showMessage?topicID=323.topic
WHAT: Discuss The Chemistry Set – we call ‘em interstitial; do you?
The IAF is loaded with very cool, very talented folks, many of whom I’ve crossed paths with at cons, online or in my work with The Endicott Studio (lots of cross pollination there). If you’re a fan of genre fiction of any sort, there’s a fine chance that your favorite book was written by someone in IAF-land.
Anyway, good times. Personally, I’m tickled pink.
Anyone is welcome to join in the discussion, so drop by after the 8th.
