Motown Writers Network, to network, market, educate, and promote writers in the Metro Detroit Area.
Automated Collective, a unique group recently formed in New York City. Its purpose is built upon the core belief that everyone is an artist waiting to be seen or heard, and the only thing impeding the realization of one's inner artist is an ideal venue.
Our objective is to provide a venue for photography, spoken word, poetry readings and live music that will allow attendees and performers to feel that they are part of a movement, as opposed to a spectator or performer for the sole purpose of profit. We believe there is a real desire on the part of artists and art-lovers alike for venues that allow free expression without the typical commercial or material pressures; a place where artists have the freedom to be exactly who they are.
Gather.com is a leading social networking and media site for adults, with some of the highest quality user-generated content on the internet.
