countries less fortunate in terms of having easy access to creative
interaction through conferences, publications and exhibitions. The OCN
will incorporate;
- regular news announcements from the network convenors
- monthly creative projects for the benefit of worthy causes around the world
- lively discussions and debate though interactive Message Boards
- Essays, readings and interviews from special guests
- Galleries of works produced in collaboration by OCN members
- Live chat room appearances from art & design luminaries
Full
OCN members (500) will have their own member profile and personal
gallery areas where they can introduce themselves, exhibit their own
creative work, and have the opportunity to fully interact with all the
other members of the network. The OCN aims to become a rich research
resource and information exchange, as well as a place for its members
to get the chance to meet people normally out of reach due to their
ghttp://www.omnium.net.aueographical or socio-economic situation.
As a creative
network, the OCN is not intended to be a place where only technically
adept members can exhibit their talent, but a sharing space where
members of all levels of creative proficiency can help and advise each
other on a whole range of issues and worthwhile projects.
