I am into graphic art, collages and photoshop.
conceptart.org
and
cgsociety.org
are pretty good. They’re pretty well known sites, and each site has their emphasis, but in their forums you may find things to be interested in, especially as you put Photoshop among your likes… I recall in each site there are topics in the forums directly relevant…
All-around, a pleasure for me to visit, as there are good, knowledgable, enthusiastic and helpful people..
And, I haven’t checked it in a while, but perhaps you’d like http://www.epilogue.net too…
Oh yeah, and here’s for grahic design… http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/
Can you get some of your core classes out of the way and still transfer to an art school?
The schools I am referring to in particular are Bunker Hill Community College (Boston) and New England Institute of Art.
Of course you can, just make sure that the classes you take at the community college are recognized by the 4 year college. Some classes will not transfer and you will need to retake them in order to fulfill the requirements, you should be able to speak to an advisor at the community college (I also suggest speaking to an advisor at the 4 year school as well) about what classes will/will not transfer. Good luck!

Okay. I want to major in film production. I am a senior on highschool and as of fall of next year I either want to:
A. Go to CalArts or San Francisco Art Institute to recieve my BFA in film.
or
B. Go to a community college to get my general ed then possibly transfer to a private university (Chapman, Emerson, etc.)
What should I do. Do Ihave to have my Gen. Ed. Before my BFA or do I get it at the same time?
I am a designer. I went to design school. NYU has an amazing film school, and so does the Rhode Island School of Design. It is the best design school in the world. I would avoid Community College because film is very competitive. You will meet more successful people at a full on art school and it will be a better name to back your career choice. In order to get into the industry it wouldn’t hurt to surround yourself with creative people from the start. Be ready for a challenge and excited for the journey. Art school is an amazing experience you will never forget 
Forgot to add most art schools will not accept most credits from community colleges. If you want to get ahead go to the art school right away.
Just because it’s art school doesn’t mean you won’t be learning liberal arts. All art schools require you to take english, sciences, and art histories. So yes you will be doing general education along with your artistic studies.

Blogs? MySpace? YouTube? Street fairs? Galleries? Send postcards? Sue
The critical thing is to be not all over the place, but to have a "strategy" in place. There is such a thing as over-marketing or being available at the wrong channels, which is why I think you want to know what is the best place.
There is no one answer. What is the kind of art being promoted? Who is the audience that the artist wants to connect with? How best to take that art to its right audience?
Strategy will be all about answering that last question.
If you are creating affordable art, you want to be in more public places and connect with more people and be ready to answer a lot of questions. If you want to remain on the high-end of the market, it’s best not to be in very public places (physical) and spaces (virtual/ physical) where you will attract public attention and contact that might not suit your taste. I mean if you want more selected attention in terms of the audience’s taste or the sheer number of queries and questions that will come your way, do not choose to be all over the Internet. People on Orkut and MySpace/ artist blogs want to connect with you – and if you can’t handle all the attention, it might disappoint them.
YouTube is very good idea if you want to make a public statement or show the "process" of your art. You can also run a good old-fashioned ad/ presentation there. Once again, what is your objective? Being on the Internet means lots of traffic and attention, possibly, and you have to have a taste AND a need for it.
Now that I think about your question, you want to be known in the art community itself… a rather select group. That should take time building up; relationships always build over time. You can definitely have a space where to exhibit your work (virtual/physical space) and invite others over to view. But more importantly, build a personal contact. Ask questions, be present at relevant gatherings, "keep in touch." Shake info and knowledge with others. View and comment on their work.
I think FLICKR is an excellent place for you to show your work without spending too much time maintaining a page. But above all, connect with people in the real world. There is no support like the support of local neighbors and friends!
P.S. You’ve inspired me to ask a question: "Is there such a thing as too much exposure for an artist?"
