Peggy Reavey

Please check out out Peggy's website. She will be joining us next time. Welcome to the Salon, Peggy!

Sooner rather than later

I am getting feedback (including my own internal naggings) that we should meet a little more frequently. I think this time was a little too stretched out.
I also think that we should occasionally meet in between studio visits for conversation designated for a specific topic.
So, we could schedule a dinner or snack-y event half way through a cycle.
I have some topics in mind. Please ruminate on some of your own. I know you have already.
I am looking forward to seeing you all. Also, unfortunately, Beth will not be able to make it to Zelda's crit. However, she will be next!

The Boom is over. Long live Art!

This article appeared in yesterday's New York Times (Sunday, February 15, 2009). You may find it interesting. I thought it was a thoughtful reflection on what's going on in the art market. Parts of it made me cheer, other parts evoked some prickly debate between Craig and I.
There was also another article discussing what artists have done historically when the economy was tanking. Check it out if you have time.
