Dear ArtbyMia..
I'm an artist..painting ,writing & directing plays.. ART is my life.. ART is a noble message ..so I'm in

Thank you Evan for your reply and support. Please visit the site at www.chamaca-arts.com and leave a comment in the guest book and join the traveling journal project by leaving a comment on the post in the blog.

I am so excited to meet other artists and like minded people on the network of wonderful and powerful women from around the world. looking forward to sharing with you!!

Love and light, Mia

HI do not paint or draw but I write and love to dance. I have a creative spirit and ideas but it is in different ways.

I am from New York originally I hope to move to the desert of the southwest new mexico or arizona. I live in BC now but will see what I can do to move back to states

Thank you for your kind words and support. The site is for all creative wonderful spirits as yourself... no formal arts or formal creative training required for Chamaca Arts. I believe everyone is born an artis with a creative spirit and soul. It is when someone or something awakens the dormant feature that we start to express it... this is when we must nurture and share the craft with the world.

Stay in touch and home to hear from you soon. Share the website with your friends and family.

Love and light, Mia

dear women
i love painting so much here in iraq a lot of women dont ewar what they like because islam make us wear espesial dress
of course we accept that unform but inside were we are at home we wear what we like we love colorful dresses while many women wear in black when they get out
i would like to put a picture represent a beautiful iraqi woman but i dont know how to add apicture here
please if you can teach me i would be very happy to make all the women see what i wnt to say to them
with my regard

Thank you for your wonderful message. I would love for you to join us and send as many pictures and messages as you like. This project will be traveling around the world to educate people about other cultures and for all women to share their ideas, art and voices. How is the mail in Iraq? would you be able to mail me something? a beautiful colorful drawing and letter about Iraqui women and your dreams? If this is not possible do you have a digital camera? or have access to scanning a copy of your art and emailing it to me? I want to help you share your voice and art with us here. Please let me know what is easiest for you.

You can teach us many things about women in Iraq, tell us about your dreams, your country, your feelings about being Islam. I would love to hear your story and put it in the traveling journal for people to hear your voice.

Let me know if you would like to do this.

Blessings, Mia

Dear Women

I live in South Africa in the Free State Region - I belong to a group of women whereby we would like to empower
unemployed women to make a difference in their lives. We started only four months back but we can see that
we are going to make it. Neither of us is an artist but we are prepared to do anything that can help unpriviledged
children and women. I hope Chamaca Arts can help us to make our voice heard our area is a very dull area.

Please let me hear from you again I have already noted your company in my group.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. This is a wonderful start by sharing your story and reaching out to work together. I am very happy to hear that in such a short amount of time you have made some great steps. Chamaca Arts would love to hsare the stories and voices of the women in your group. This is exactly what Chamaca Arts is all about working together for the empowerment and advancement of women and girls. Our stongest tool is our voice and what better way to bring awareness and educate people than to share our stories and advocate for women and girls globally.

Chamaca Arts is not just about visual arts is a network for women to share on a creative format and bring awareness to current issues and conditions around the world. whether we do this through writing, painting, singing, dancing or playing an instrument this is all the same. Its a way for us to express ourselves freely, openly and share.

Have the women share their stories, experiences, dreams and wishes with us. Tell us how you got started, why and where you are going from here. We would love to hear from these women via letter, poetry, drawing or any other way. I can post it on the website and add it to our global project. I would like to send you a blank writing book for your women to write in, draw, paint, add photos or anything they would like to to share with us. You will them send it back to me and i will share it with my group and network. I can post your website or link on my websites and write a story on you and your women. Please send pictures if you can. Let me know if this is possible and how you would like to proceed.

Blessings sister, Mia

I love art to a fault. As an art critic,I have been reporting, and discuss art in different fora. Art is in me! I some times organise art competition among secondary school students on areas such as Art and HIV/AIDS, which usually involves boys and girls. The place of art in women emancipation/development etc At the end of such competition, winners works and the winners are reported in the media.Therefore I would want to be part of the process, Daine . Cheers. Akpus John
