EDGE Goals

Artists Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

So many creative people are considered to be weird.
People hesitate to question, a surreal answer is feared.

Whatever makes them unique causes abstract views.
Artists create relationships with textures and hues.

They would rather intently paint or sculpt in seclusion…
Than be a member of a society with educated illusions.

...

Those of us who consider ourselves to be artists have an impulse to become transformative. This need to create and produce works does not begin with a need to make money. We seem to have an ability to look at something and see what is could be. And we transform it.

Developed by Artists Trust, the EDGE program, which starts January 13th, seeks to take the transformative and make them seen. EDGE seek to build like-minded relationships between the insightful and the creative. As an artist, you can market your work; with the EDGE you can obtain the skills.

The EDGE program goals are:
  • To equip artists with the relevant and necessary skills to achieve their personal career goals.
  • To develop peer support and exchange among artists.
ArtsNow/uLearn is generously offering partial scholarships to those seeking to bring their transformations to light. Classes start January 13. Email artsnow@edcc.edu or call 425-640-1243.
