Here are the links to those two pages and a few pieces of artwork from those pages:
Artfully Unforgotten (the one about the artists that want to come together and work together to create art projecs and help make a difference in the world): http://www.facebook.com/punkhippiedemonchild666?ref=tn_tnmn#!/artfullyunforgotten
555 Collective (the one about the artists who use art as a mean to cope with their trauma): http://www.facebook.com/555collective
555 Collective also has an official, non-Facebook, website: http://www.555c.org/
I also came across another page just now (while working on this blog post). Its called "Art Geek". Its apparently a place on Facebook where artists can post their artwork without having to have all the strangers of Facebook land looking at your profile and looking through all your photos on your personal profile. Here is the link to that page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ART-GEEK/141029446003402
And... Finally... Just as I promised... Here are the pics from the first two links above!
And this page is called "Arto- Art Beyond the Museums": http://www.facebook.com/artomx?sk=timeline
This one is called "Wikiartmap," and it is sort of a world-wide map of art or artists or something like that: http://www.facebook.com/Wikiartmap?ref=stream
Well, I hope that you enjoyed this blog post, and I hope that it and its contents were inspiring to you! I would like to encourage you to find an artistic and creative outlet (such as writing, painting, sketching, making masquerade masks, making music, making cards, jewelry, etc.) to plug yourself into if you are looking for a fun and exciting hobby, trying to find a coping machenism, want to make a difference in the world, want to help yourself and/or others, or even just as a fun way to pass the time! I am going to close for now.

P.S. If you are going to take up an art form or creative writing, or something of that nature, make sure it is something that you actually enjoy doing and are comfortable with doing and are only doing it because you want to, not because someone else is making feel pressured to do so... And take your time with it, don't ever rush it or make yourself do it when you don't want to do it, but at the same time remember that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, and if you actually want to perfect your skills and take them to a higher level you have to practice! Just do it at your own pace and on your own time.
