	Oglethorpe University : News : Press Releases : 2004 : 11/15/04 : European Artist Colony Paintings
		Artist colonies are credited with changing the tradition of western painting by moving artists out of the studio and into nature, as they worked in the open air.
		Artist colonies emerged when artists fleeing the pressures of city life left their urban studios and sought out small, rural locations where they allowed themselves to be inspired by the natural environment.
		Social relationships were established among the colony artists, who exchanged ideas with one another and the poets, writers, musicians, intellectuals and tourists who were attracted to the movement.

	Artist Colonies and Residency Programs
		Artist colonies usually have a number of artists in residence at any one time (from 4-20), and a sense of community builds as residents share dinners and breakfasts together.
		Artist colonies host artists for lengths of time ranging from two weeks to three months, but most last approximately one month.
		Both AIR Programs and artist colonies request work samples, references, and an essay describing your work plan while in residence, and both are competitive, with panels evaluating applications.

		Also called residencies, retreats, and artists' communities, these are environments where artists can find quality time to practice their craft without distractions away from the parties, the phone, the television, the relatives, the day job.
		What artist colonies do provide that screenwriting workshops don't is a great place to meet and exchange ideas with artists in other disciplinesÑpainters, composers, dancers, and writers.
		Many colonies are under the impression that screenwriting is not a serious art form, or that money is rampant in the filmmaking community and we donÕt need their help.

		Artist Therman Statom has created two original art pieces to present as the awards.

	Exhibit Art work for Value by art historian Dr. Lori
		The artist whose works you are buying should be showing work not only in shows hosted by their dealer but also in regional art shows, area art exhibitions, juried art exhibitions, college and university galleries, community art museums, competitions, etc. There are many artist organizations that host exhibitions and feature the work of fine artists.
		Artists showing in exhibitions in major cities, major museums and galleries, artist colonies, art centers, or cultural environments, more often than not, offer more value to collectors.
		For example, if you have a piece by an artist whose work is in a major private art collection or a public collection, library, museum, university or college gallery, the value of all of the artist's work (and your piece by that artist) increases in value.

	Subjectivist Tendencies in Early Modernist American Art
		One might say that these artists were joined not by a painting style, but by a mental attitude towards their work.
		Another link between many of the artists of the Stieglitz circle and Dickinson, which might partially explain shared concerns, is the similarity of their artistic education.
		The artist painted his landscapes on site, when the weather permitted it, and he was so attuned to weather conditions that he habitually noted them in a journal; sometimes on an hourly basis.

	Regional Art Finds a Market
		"What all these artist colonies have in common is that they are places of peace and beauty where the artists feel comfortable to congregate," says Colleene Fesko, director of American and European paintings at Skinner, Inc. in Boston.
		Artists Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips were on a painting expedition together in 1898 when their carriage broke down near Taos, New Mexico.
		This rags-to-riches phenomenon may be most extreme in the Hamptons, a former artist colony on the tip of Long Island that has evolved into a chichi vacation resort, but the cycle is hardly particular to that colony.

	Magazine Antiques: The art colonies of New England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The colonial house, particularly the saltbox, was closely identified with the values and way of life of preindustrial New England.
		The revival of interest in all things colonial during this period can be seen as an attempt to provide alternative social and political models to those found at the time in contemporary urban culture and immigrant populations.
		On the surface these church portraits are faithful records of colonial landmarks, while on a deeper level they are icons of traditional American values and patriotic symbols of America's religious and political freedoms.

	John J. Domont, A Retrospective: Place and Possibility
		During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, painters settled artist colonies dotted across the state in such places as Nashville, Richmond, and Irvington.
		The young artist endeavored to capture on film, the shimmering effects of light reflected on water.
		The instructor excerpted a Taoist script to the young artist, "Come before the divine with a bowl, an empty bowl, a begging bowl." Domont believes all humans are spiritual beggars on the path of self-awareness.

		More colonies spring up yearly, of varying quality and resources, which certainly is encouraging to know.
