Networking is so vital to our creative souls! ArtBizJam was founded based on the philosophy of this quote:

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Albert Schweitzer (1875 -1965)
