Are you a Pacific Islander carver or sculptor ready to join The Polynesian Art Challenge

In 2011, several Polynesian and Pacific Artists led by Ione K. Birdman started several projects online to connect with others in the Arts. Most of the small projects were groups on social media platforms, and some projects evolved into Polynesian History so that Artists could be more informed on the cultural details of their work. "If you're a Polynesian American bone carver or wood carver or sculptor looking to connect with others, and also would like to challenge your skills for some Mana. Join the Facebook social group: The Polynesian ARTS Challenge".

There are quite a few Art competitions out there online but they can cost ridiculous fees just to join in. There can be a fee to join competition, a fee to be a gold member, a fee to use the website to attract buyers, a fee for space to place your art on display, and then possibly a fee should you actually sell something. Administrators have said if the group does succeed in enough members, further organization may result in a website, a place to present profiles and Polynesian Artwork. 

"This is a very simple social group, it's not in it for the fees, sculptors there just want to feed off each others ideas and techniques, and of course meet and greet you into the Polynesian art community"

An easy way to join the social group of artists is to find Ione K. Birdman or another administrator on Facebook and add him or her as a friend, then message about the activity of the group.
