This group is for artists that suffer from depression or similar issues (fear) and looking for support from other artists. The goal is to have a place to vent, and help each other figure out how to work through some of the curve balls life throws at us that interfere with our art.

Artists Quote: "It seems to be a big question as to whether most of us can actually call ourselves "artists". It seems that most of us feel that if we are not in the company of Michelangelo or Da Vinci or if we haven't sweated in formal training that we can't do so.

The biggest reason people stop making art is because they aren't selling their stuff, no one seems to like it, they don't get the feed back they need somehow. However, for most people, it takes time for that to come, and it seems like most people quit before it does. And they are never happy.

A new definition of an artist for consideration: Someone who NEEDS to create. They aren't fully happy unless they do, creating fills a particular need and it doesn't go away, it's like air or water. If you have this need, then your only requirement to qualify as an artist is to not quit."
