In reply to Whitney.

Whitney: Exactly. This is especially powerful if you are a member or have a stake in an organization’s success. You have an obligation to help them be better.

In reply to Laura.

Laura: I wonder how we can get that to change? We need to shake things up!

One thing to add…
Artists, don’t be afraid of being “unprofessional” and telling organizations/businesses what makes you nervous about their organization. Some of us want to hear about complaints and criticism. People rarely give them nowadays.
I’ve, literally, asked artists why they decided not to work with me (so I can make changes for future artists) and exactly ZERO people have responded.

Alyson,
this was so inspiring to read thank you…
some of us artists that work with local art leagues and guilds stumble with many on trying to keep their local art guilds and leagues with gallery space going and doors open..and keep them fresh…so much fear in taking a risk at something a bit different and from a different approach.
