Expressing TOSCA

Expressing TOSCA is a forum for all forms of artists, including actors, musicians, authors and poets, to promote their art and for all of us to find and nurture our own muse.

On these pages of the website you will find information about local artists, authors, poets etc. as well as information about upcoming Expressing TOSCA events for those who would like to meet local artists or their own inner artist. Common Questions about Copyright Law by attorney Jim Wahl

"Parnassus" 1497, Andrea Mantegna The Nine Muses Dancing with Apollo
According to ancient Greek mythology there are nine muses (goddesses) who inspire artists, musicians, writers and poets. They were said to be the daughters of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of Memory. Some claim that their parents were actually Uranus (Sky) and Gaea (Mother Earth).
