Paco's Village Artisans
 
artisan \Ar"ti*san\ (?; 277), n. [F. artisan, fr. L. artitus skilled in arts, fr. ars, artis, art: cf. It. artigiano. See Art, n.] 1. One who professes and practices some liberal art; an artist. [Obs.]

Paco's Artisan Village is an international online collective of artists helping each other to come up on the Internet and share samples of their works and sell their works in our World Beat Bazaar. Artisans (Artists of all forms) and Paco's team develop and maintain their online studio and product sales areas in the Artisan community where the Artisans show their works and share about themselves. Paco's Global Village's unique vision is fostering an online community which uses the world wide web to cross physical boundaries and globally nurtures a new cultural and artistic mix.

Paco's Global Artisan Village is capable of representing hundreds of artists
from around the world. We will have poets, musicians, painters, dancers, writers and composers, sculptors, digital artists, performance artists, and much more. We are always open to adding artists in new areas.

To reach the artists here, look through our Village Artisans directory to

The idea of having such a site came to our Editor & Publisher "Paco" while he was involved in an open Art studios event in April of 1997 in New York City's SOHO area. (NYC was his old stomping grounds during the eighties, and he has always "gone home" since becoming addicted to the great life there.) Remember fondly- the Ritz, Palladium, Ashford & Simpson's 20West20 Club in a functioning Antique car museum, Sweetwaters up on west side, ah, but back to the Artisans.

Paco was the "in studio musical entertainment" for the invited guests and the artisans, who were displaying many of their new oil paintings and fabric collages in the studio.

 

A friend and young entrepeneur came through and wanted to purchase an oil painting. Paco and this art collector talked about how wonderful it would be to have artisans of all kinds up on the Internet for viewing.

That's when the answer came to Paco... a website community that would help artisans share their art forms with the global viewing public. Paco started contacting artists at local music festivals, arts and crafts fairs, New Orlean's Jazz Fest, Monterey Jazz Festival, Berkeley's arts studios, Greenwich Village and Amsterdam's writers dens. He also participates in online discussion groups around the world and other obscure yet wonderful environments that inspire the creative's need for practicing their art form and might be interested in showing their works on the Internet. Paco is now helping them become a part of this Artisans community that you are now in.
