I hoped >to create a site that included other independent women artists who were >navigating the treacherous waters of corporate America and pursuing an >artistic career in the face of an isolated and unfunded society of artistry. > >The technology of the internet has made it possible to expand the idea of >WOMANROCK.com to foster the growth and prosperity of the many talented yet >unknown independent artists working on their own. To create space for this >to happen, I am moving my personal website to a location within >WOMANROCK.com. You can now find the Brenda Kahn Home Page at >http://womanrock.com/brenda/index.html, and recognize it by the Rocket 99 >logo. This will allow the focus of the page to grow beyond the boundaries of >my music. > >So what then is WOMANROCK.com and what does this mean for you? You have >supported me and inspired me to keep on recording music and playing concerts >even when the industry made it seem hopeless. The many letters and emails >I've received over the years have proven to me the power that exists in a >community of people focusing their energy toward a common goal. You can check >out the WOMANROCK.com mission statement at: >http://womanrock.com/mission.html > >We have the opportunity to change the way music is heard, film is seen, and >the way independent artists distribute and sell their work. In the coming >months, as WOMANROCK.com becomes an established entity on the web, your input >and presence will be invaluable. > >Here are some ways you can get involved: > >1. If you are a freelance writer interested in contributing stories or >reviews to the site, please send clips and a resume to: > >Brenda Kahn >PO Box 1460 >New York, NY 10009 > >or: brenda@womanrock.com > >2. If you are a female musician, artist, filmmaker, or writer interested in >participating in >WOMANROCK.com events, send a photo, bio, press clips and a sample of your >work (i.e. CD, slides etc.) to: > >Brenda Kahn >PO Box 1460 >New York, NY 10009 > >or: brenda@womanrock.com > >3.
