attended the ARTpreneur conference saturday
was glad to see the community strong and engaged
the business side of art
the 90%
keynote address Suki Lee
we live in a time where “art is part of the economy”
good news for artists and business people alike
“art engenders creativity in business people”
while artists have opportunities
should their entrepreneurial spirit be moved
…branding, blogging, social marketing, networking
Craig Fitzpatrick
ultimately, “artists are product people”
makers of things
that glorious 10% of the time
however product alone
no matter how fine
needs a voice
flowing with remarkable content
if it is meant to be heard today
(certainly not all art is meant to be heard. i have piles of silence in the corner)
Sonny Juane
AND not only a remarkable marketed voice
“…be you. only more interesting!”
hard work indeed
i try
an unintended satisfaction of my artistic pursuits comes from the opportunity to engage my entrepreneurial side
i don’t think i had had that precise thought before these talks
many thanks to the speakers and organizers of the event
