Grade A stuff. I’m unquestionably in your debt.

]]>Art communities in my rural area have been a challenge, I and a few others tried to start one 5 years back but it lacked enough interest to continue. Going into Richmond helped and I am a juried member of a the largest and most active here, but their demands are great with the 80 20 rule more like 90 10. And I have had to cut back because all the volunteering left me no time to create art with my additional teaching in my home studio. But I hunger for the a small group of profession striving artists who I can make a bond with. One where I’m not the mentor (although I value that capacity) but am one of a few who share mentoring and support each other. Thank you again for helping artists with this blog!
]]>Got it – I appreciate the explanation and it’s a great point.
]]>And … yes! Michael is one sharp guy. Super bright and fun to talk to. Sometimes it takes me awhile to catch up to his quick thinking.
]]>I get it, Lou.
You should try to come to Art Biz Breakthrough – next November if not this one.
And look at my Inner Circle: http://artbizcoach.com/ic
]]>Oh, Elaine. I’m so happy to hear that we’ve been helpful for you.
It’s nice that you want to help, but it’s just so frustrating when the receiving end isn’t ready to receive. I’ve learned that over the years.
]]>Lou: So happy you could listen.
Michael used to be the co-host of a local art podcast – a really good one that, sadly, is no more. So he used an old trick and started interviewing me. Sly devil.
