Who's Involved
Artastic’s achievements are the collaborative desire, effort and commitment of many people. Artastic can be loosely divided in artists, community groups and supporters. In mentioning names I fear forgetting people, so feel free to hassle me if you think I have forgotten to mention you or someone else. Collectively I would to thank you all for your creativeness, patience, participation, and support.
