AMIEN

The Art Materials Information and Education Network (AMIEN) is a resource whose mission is to provide comprehensive, up-to-date, accurate and impartial information about artists’ materials to artists, art historians, conservators, educators, organizations interested in the subject, and the general public.

AMIEN is co-directed by Albert Albano, Executive Director of the ICA, and Mark Gottsegen, artist, educator and author.  It is a non-profit organization under the auspices of the ICA ’s 501(c)(3) structure.

AMIEN is freely accessible via e-mail, telephone, ordinary mail, fax, and through its stand-alone web site.  The site hosts a forum for discussion and publishes papers of interest to its constituents.  In addition, AMIEN plans to publish short articles and pamphlets in printed formats for distribution to its clients.  All Internet services are free, while other services have nominal fees to cover costs.
