society 6

have you all heard about society 6 yet? i just discovered it yesterday, and boy am i excited! society 6 is a vibrant social networking platform for artists to promote their work and connect with unique opportunities. it's a verycool concept-- you can create studios within your page to showcase different bodies/styles of work, follow other artists, promote other artists' work on your page, and connect with fellow creatives all over the world. plus, they have a crazy awesome artist grant program, where organizations/companies/individuals can offer grants to artists, and the society6 community nominates who they think should receive the grant. and the grants are really amazing! (you can check out the full list here.) i found out about society6 through threadless, who are offering a grant to design an exclusive t-shirt for their select series and $1,000!

anyway, i thought you all might be interested since many of you are artists, and we're all always looking for new ways to promote our work and connect with other like-minded folks. (i started a page and am in the process of getting some work uploaded and starting to follow people and their studios! so much fun.)
