For those less digitally enhanced folks, there will be a monthly or bi-monthly mailing of all the messages. They can even respond via snail mail and those snail mail messages will be distributed on the email discussion group.
What to talk about

History
The origins of Artiwu started in the spring 1996 with the idea of creating discussion amoung the IWU art students about various matters of art. The idea came started to come into reality in the spring of 1998 when the artiwu website first went on-line with the basic structure you see today (minus the graphics). The real heart of artiwu started in the fall of 1998 when the email discussion group started. Since then, the artiwu site has grown and become more in-depth.
Your moderator (and founder)
Matt Maldre (class of 1997)
I orginally pictured my role as just a moderator that provides the structure for people to contribute their ideas, experiences and knowledge. Through the years, I have found that it is vital for a there to be a dicussion leader who can provide thought provoking questions and discussion starters. I have also tried to give out information for students that will be of help.
I greatly enjoy searching for ang gathering information together. Every week, putting together the digest is a great joy. There's just something awesome everytime when I hit the "send" button to ship out the weekly digest. I absolutely love doing this, and if I could I would be doing this sort of thing for a living. I thank everyone for being a part of artiwu.
