Working and aspiring artists on the Island are being given a new voice.
The Isle of Man Artists Creative Network aims to give poets, painters, musicians, model makers and others a place to exchange ideas and talk about the Manx art scene.
The group is open to anyone and will hold its first informal meeting this evening (Thursday).
Sculptor Matt Owen is one of the network's founders.
He says its future will be as strong as the participants' enthusiasm.
The first meeting is at the Claremont Hotel at 7.45pm.
