About Us

WAN is a non-profit and online community open to all active, creative individuals, as well as arts appreciators, arts leaders or creative artists including musicians, visual artists, writers, performers, composers, spoken word artists, arts educators, photographers, digital artists, etc. regardless of race, nationality, artistic or philosophic discipline.

Join us to participate of the fantastic dynamic WAN members bring to this artistic community. Here you will be able to share your art, thoughts, and works in progress, receive feedback, learn from other artists and surf through our collection of resources. We hope you enjoy the new way of experiencing art.

The World Artist Network was born as an online community on the popular MySpace site. After celebrating in 2006 two years of networking and learning from one another through this community, Tom and Valeria decided to take it a step further and transform the group into a non-profit organization.

The mission of the World Artist Network is to promote the Arts and encourage the artistic and intellectual development of the global community by presenting effective local and online programs that support the freedom to develop and create, as well as providing venues for new and established artists to share their experience and works with each other and the general public.
