International Collage Organizations


There are two international collage organizations that have annual collage exchanges and shows.  Many members belong to both groups since it started out as one group.  There are online exhibits of collages from past years, from 1999 to the present.   Links to the exhibits are:  
http://collagemuseum.com/collage-exchange-index.html -- Director is Cecil Touchon of  USA.  I was in the 2010 exchange.

http://outofsight.co.nz/Bakers/default.htm --  Director is Dale Copeland of New Zealand.   I was in the 2011 exchange. 

Cecil and Dale are both fantastic artists.  Cecil is a contemporary painter and collage artist with artwork in galleries throughout the United States.  His work is in many important collections.   Dale is an assemblage and collage artist  with outstanding credits and collections.   Some of her work is available for purchase on her website.  You can search for their names to get to their websites or click links off their collage sites.

A Good Art News Site

If you are interested in reading about art, this is a good site.   It has art news as well as a file of artworks by various artists.  I visit the site often.

Someone Is Using My ID

I've always heard that a person should search for their own name from time to time.  Well, today I "googled" my ID of edgejoy.  I found out that there is another seller using this ID.   I want to let everyone know that the edgejoy with a large number of listings on a dot info site is not me.  This edgejoy calls himself a seller, yet nothing can be bought.  It seems to be a search engine with links to Amazon.  There are five flags of countries so I do not know where this edgejoy is located.  It is strange that there is a site where you cannot locate any information about the seller or the site.  Of course, I realize that I do not own the name of edgejoy legally and anyone else can use it.  I have been using this ID for twelve years.  If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate your letting me know.  Thanks.
