Ian and I have come to an exciting time in the evolution of our
dream of a not-for-profit artist community in Second Life,
The Dirty Grind Independent Artist Community. As we near
our second anniversary, we are working to expand and
improve upon the already groundbreaking personalized
support we offer artists involved in Second Life and their
management team..
Our goal...our passion has always been to provide a haven
for artists in which creativity and community. flourishes. We
are here for our artists and wish to extend our reach as a
service organization.
The members of The Dirty Grind Family put their heart, soul,
time and much more into their art. We give them our resources
and experience so they can better concentrate on creating.
Ian and I share a background in music and business.
My background includes innovation and leadership in the international,
nonprofit sector, communication, creative writing and art knowledge
I am the founder and former president of a multi-national 501(c)3 and
an independent mixed media artist. Ian brings his experience
with corporate administration, as well as management history
with a brick and mortar live music venue.
We offer our artists and their management team our knowledge,
expertise, time and sim to help them and their team in many ways;
including:
- promoting artists work though listening and discovery
booths at our sim and in satellite locations, as well as
our website and blog;
