Well, I just finished my first gallery show…a few bites but no landings. Listening to people talk about the art (my work was being shown at the same time as some Master of Fine Arts students, so lots of different perspectives on display) made me wonder how do we get people to start seeing art as a potential tool to help the economy and deal with many of the social ills we face? The politics of aesthetics and systems of rationalization are interesting…I do think there is potential (the glass is always have full!), but we need to be talking to those who are enjoying the art!
Keep smiling!

Congrats on the art show! You have some great work–I’ve always been jealous of people with visual artistic talent.
Welcome to the blogosphere too. I started blogging last year as part of a fundraiser (www.lupusrunner.org).
