There is an interesting article everyone in the visual art community should read in Columbia, SC’s The State today (10/24/10) written by Helen O’Neill, an AP correspondent. Here’s the link. I’m sure this story is appearing in a lot of Sunday newspapers around the country.
Don’t think things like this couldn’t happen in the little old Carolinas – they have. It might have been on a much smaller scale but it has happened and could be taking place now.
The lesson is – make the arts more business like and less – who you know or who you think you know.
