	Points West Article - Working with Camera, Canvas, and Brush: The Cody Art Colony
		The recent emergence of modern art, of which Grigware was not a strong advocate, and Codyâs relative isolation from the rest of the art world, may have been other contributing factors to his decision to move west.
		They claimed they were anxious to be joined by other artists, for âthe more Cody became an art center, the more work there would be and the greater the need for a variety of talent to draw upon.â8 Despite their high hopes, the envisioned art colony did not materialize.
		Although an official, organized art colony may not have come to fruition, they influenced another generation of artists, such as internationally acclaimed sculptor and painter Harry Jackson, and helped create the artistic community that is still very much in existence today.

	Arts - The Art Colony @ 4th Floor Starhill Centre
		Some underwent formal art education, obtaining academic qualifications and even lecturing on art at higher institutions of learning; whereas a few of them are self-taught, producing their work based on raw talent, patience and practice.
		Many of them have dedicated their life to art, working on it fulltime and earning a living through it, irrespective of their form, for the past ten to fifteen years.
		Since the very beginning of the Arts Colony, the artists have been actively involved with local art activities, from the Art Bazaar organised by the National Art Gallery and other institutions, to the small-scale exhibitions held throughout the country to promote art to the people who live away from the cities.

	THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: HOW THE SANTA FE ART COLONY BEGAN
		The Cinco Pintores were among the most colorful fixtures of the early Santa Fe art scene, becoming known as "the five little nuts in the five adobe huts." The tag was more indulgent than derogatory, for the artists exerted an influence that was out of proportion to their numbers as well as their modest means.
		As the art colony developed further, it became evident that diversity was here to stay.
		His presence is reassuring, for much of the art colony and all it stood for has changed beyond recognition.

	Welcome to the Cornish Art Colony
		Unlike most American art colonies, the Cornish Colony was home to a full spectrum of cultural leaders from the Gilded Age.
		Owing to his friendship with Cornish Art Colony poet and dramatist Percy MacKaye, the composer Edward MacDowell and his wife were inspired to establish a colony nearby in Peterborough, New Hampshire and in 1907 the MacDowell Colony was born.
		From the 1880s to the 1920s, the Colony comprised an elite center of cultural communication but in the remainder of the twentieth century it was largely ignored by cultural historians.

	Painting for Time: The Art Colony at Nespelem
		The colony's contract with the school district aided greatly in convincing many to participate; painting was done in the school's old gymnasium, a comfortable atmosphere for most.
		In a sense, the art of the 1960s and 1970s progressed too far to suit many of the Nespelem students who had, for better or worse, cultivated a simple form of expression dedicated to the portrayal of living history.
		Their style of art has been called bland, expressionless, and unsophisticated, ignoring that the value of the work is mainly in its interpretation.

		Taos Artists and Their Patrons: 1898-1950 commemorates the founding of the Taos art colony in 1898 and examines the considerable achievements of these artists while celebrating their patrons — the individuals and institutions that supported them, and the forces that created such an art colony.

		It includes prize-winning entries to the Art Institute of Chicago, National Academy of Design and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts’ annual national exhibitions, as well as spectacular paintings originally acquired by private patrons such as John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Gilcrease, Carter Harrison and William Klauer.

	About the Art Colony
		The Art Colony & The Blueprinter was founded in 1983 as a way of identifying The Blueprinter as a fine and professional art supplies dealer.
		The Blueprinter had always carried a small line of art supplies but as the artists in our community increased in numbers, their needs for an expanded source of locally accessible supplies increased as well.
		We have worked with local schools, art associations, clubs and professionals to bring the latest innovations as well as the established preferred products to our shelves.

	Stone City Art Colony Project Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The men and women of the colony, some of them forgotten, had made significant contributions to art in Iowa and tracing their histories began with an elemental start – locating their cities/dates of birth and death.
		Similarly, the few financial records left from the 1933 colony year, all vividly showing the crumbling finances and Wood’s inability to manage the costs, can be seen in the John Cantwell Reid Papers, held in the Special Collections Department of the University of Iowa Libraries in Iowa City.
		The Stone City art colony’s spirit can never be replicated, and our efforts have tried to capture a small amount of the students’ and faculty’s talent and innovation.

	Monterey's Early Art Colony
		The school educates Navy officers, but at the turn of the century those same buildings were the site of a landmark art exhibit in one of the country's great resort inns, the Old Hotel Del Monte, visited by presidents, power brokers and celebrities.
		The landmark exhibit was held in 1907 and helped pull California art and artists out of the doldrums being experienced by people from every walk of life following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.
		Earlier this year San Francisco Examiner art critic David Bonetti wrote a piece that carried the headline: "Trashing the Murals - The Asian Art Museum is poised to destroy a work of art." Bonetti wrote such an act would be one of "willful desecration." The issue has yet to be settled.

	Art/Museums: The Cos Cob Art Colony, Impressionists on the Connecticut Shore at the National Academy of Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There were several art colonies that sprang up in the late 19th Century that were more famous such as Shinnecock, New York, Cornish, New Hampshire, Monhegan Island, Maine, Gloucester and Provincetown, Mass., Old Lyme, Conn., and the Byrdcliffe colony in Woodstock, New York.
		Lincoln Steffens, an investigative journalist affiliated with the art colony, remarked of him, 'I'm not so interested in his pictures, I'm interested in his temperament.' Twachtman's temperament - by turns gregarious and introspective, restless and serene - was a major factor in preventing the Cos Cob art colony from becoming a backwater of nostalgic complacency.
		In 1909, Robert M. Bruce, a textile merchant, gave his home and $50,000 to the town of Greenwich for a museum of art, history and natural history and members of the colony would soon hold exhibitions of their art there.
