In a Down Economy, HAA Membership is Up.

There are a few new names and faces among us and several familiar ones. Please welcome new HAA members Guillaume Guy, Suzanne K. Marsden, and Joseph Watson. While you're at it, welcome back returning members Edwin "Ed" Davis, Barbara Hunter, James T. Jarrett, Judy Jensen, Dorothy Slikker, Melinda Stanley, Shu-hsin "Sophia" Wu, and Kathleen Cantwell Yanez.

If you are a new member and you don't see your name mentioned here, rest assured, as soon as your jury process is complete and your dues have been submitted, you will receive a warm artist-to-artist shout out. Stay creative.

WHAT IS ART? WHAT ART IS.

It can pretty much be whatever we want it to. It can come from within. It can come from our surroundings. It can come from just about anywhere.

How do we define it? How do we interpret it? How do we connect with it? Art is subjective and personal and ever-changing, so the answer to these questions is pretty much up to us.

It can move us. It can inspire us. It can perplex and entertain us. It can influence us. It can imitate us. It can be everything and nothing all at once.

It can be painted or drawn or sprayed or hand-made. It can be visual, vocal, or verbal. Poets, sculptors, metal-workers, mixed media folks. Everyone with a grain of creativity or simply an appreciation is welcome.

Because art is so entirely subjective, please understand that this site has been created and will continue to evolve to serve not just the community of artists but the notion of all the things that art itself can be.

That said, the content of the site will be limited to things that will hopefully incite limited controversy, if any at all, but there may be links to people with artistic pursuits that may or may not be in line with some of the rest of us.

Again, using the best of our discretion, we will attempt to fairly represent as many local artists as we can and hope that everyone can find something to appreciate in each others' vision.

Thank you.
