I believe that art “appreciation” should be a compulsory subject in all schools along side reading writing and arithmetic etc. In the mean time, these open resources are a valuable tool in helping the general public in their knowledge and appreciation of the arts and why it is so important.
Why are the arts so important?
Can we imagine the world without decoration, design, colour, shapely movement, inovative, imaginative thinking, balance, music, poetry, style, grace and harmonious placement?

I believe NY Artists Equity does not approve of fees being charged for shows – that being said, every one does it.

I’m on Culture Hall’s e-mail list and got their recent one, which was a call to artists for their online exhibit. As I read further, I found there was a $35 charge to have your work considered. There’s no indication of what that $35 goes toward and it makes me suspicious when fees are charged. Like most grants and competitions of one sort or another, the competition is fierce and the numbers are often stacked against you. In the case of Culture Hall, they will pick 4 artists. How many more artists will spend $35 for their chance to win?

It seems like there are more and more online opportunities for artists that charge fees. Are they simply money-making schemes taking advantage of artists eager to find a venue to show their work? I don’t know, but it’s certainly not unheard of.

I chose not to pay for the opportunity to be featured on Culture Hall. My money can be better spent!

Thank you, Leslie. It’s great to learn about all the wonderful things happening for artists living in rural areas all around the country. There is such a groundswell of energy in rural areas and it’s important that more people know about the great things artists are doing. I hope that I will have a chance to check out what is going on in Cambridge.
