I am an Artist

If you are new to the Take an Art Break idea, this is a splendid place to start.

All you need is an internet connection, time, and your eyes. The art will do the rest.

Starting in 2009, as an effort to introduce more people to art and the artists behind it, Art is Moving began creating a collection of today’s working artists. We started by interviewing artists currently living and working in the United States and then opened the collection up to artists from around the globe. 

We hope this cyber community art project encourages dialogue about current events and how they relate to the art world, why art is important to sustain a culture, and what life is like for today’s artist.

The benefits of looking at art include:

  • Decreased stress levels
  • A better understanding of oneself

Feel free to browse the collection here. 

You can read more about benefits of art by visiting our Benefits of Art page.

We invite artists of all shapes, size, genres, etc. to join this contemporary artist database.
