Denton college students are hoping that a little organization will go a long way.</div> <div> That's the short story of Denton Craft Mafia, the latest arts organization to take root in Denton.  Founder Mandy Metts, a University of North Texas art student who specializes in jewelry making, said a group of students decided to start a craft network so they can plan arts events while building market-worthy portfolios.  The group is inspired by and affiliated with the Austin Craft Mafia, Metts said.</div> <div> "Basically, we just wanted to get a network going, because a lot of us wanted to market and sell our art," she said.</div> <div> There is something to be said for having power in numbers.  Alone, artists can slog away in the studio, hoping for some profitable hits on self-launched web sites.  Together, artists can gain the visibility that could take years to amass as a solitary artist.  On Saturday afternoon, Metts said, the dozen artists who have already come together under the Denton Craft Mafia will open the group's doors to any craftsman or women who is looking for some support.</div> <div> "I think the first thing we're going to do is see what we want to be about, and talk about what everyone else wants this to be," Metts said.</div> <div> The group already has a web site with information on membership (meetings are open, but only members participate in events, such as sales and benefits", newsletters and links.  The group is working towards greater visibility.</div> <div> "We're already planning a fashion show fundrasier," Metts said.  "We'll be talking about that at the first meeting."</div> <div> The group includes college freshman but isn't limited to Denton's colleges.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
