Now we’re possibly moving to a new place where we can network better it’s also an opportunity to change the name, if others feel it’s appropriate.
Here’s a reminder of what this network is about
Chronic Artists is dedicated to those creative people who have to balance their artistic practice with the challenges of life with chronic illness or pain.
They may be an artist, writer, photographer, musician or artisan. They might be severely ill or mildly affected by their chronic health condition and/or pain. They may be from anywhere in the world.
The hope is to build a network …
Also to look at some of the challenges and highlight some of the work being done by those who just happen to have chronic illness or pain …
Chronic illness and pain can make us feel isolated. Hopefully this network can let you connect with other artists who understand.
So how about a different name? Perhaps an acronym or some great name that is not obvious. After all Apple is a computer, Flickr is a photo site and Ford is a car.
Any suggestions?

‘Chronic Artists Network’ would give the acronym CAN – as in ‘Yes, we can!’ – i’m not sure it sounds nice on its own, though. I tried putting in variations on ‘Chronic Creative’, ‘Creative Balance’ etc and they’re all either taken by financial institutions(!) or too ubiquitous. Will keep thinking…

Oh I like your thinking! Well I don’t suppose there are many names that haven’t been taken by someone somewhere! Thanks for this.

Well, later yesterday i thought of InterArt – ‘Inter’ as in:
1. internet
2. interaction between the artists
3. we’re all ‘into art’ (being a southern Brit i don’t pronounce the ‘r’) lol
… but it seemed neither pretty nor exciting, and i felt it should be one or the other if not both. Though this morning it sounds a little better; maybe that’s my mood?
