april 24th question

Today's question: Did you attend last night's art show and will you be involved with this weekend's art crawl?

-I really really wish i wouldve been able to go to last nights art show. Getting rides to stpaul is difficult for me and my little brother had a choir concert at his school from 5-7pm. I have yet too hear how it was. I'm pretty bummed i missed it:/
I will be attedning the artcrawl! I'm excited. its my first year too. I think saturday ill be there. Today i will volunteer too.

To your way of thinking, how important is the publication and selling of one's artwork?
-I think it depends on your living situation. If I understand the question correctly that is.

How validating is it to be in a show or have a piece purchased?
-I've never sold a piece of my work. I hope to sell my 5 prints at art crawl. But to be in a show, its a nice sense of accomplishment id say. I've been in two shows this year and one last year for my graphic design and photography.

To be a working artist, what sort of compromises must you make, if any, when it comes to your arts integrity and uniqueness?
i have yet to find out!

Thanks for taking on the whole of my questions and trying to think it through. I liked your piece very much that was up in yesterday's big show. Do you have access to design programs on your computer at home? Will you maybe go on to school for design?

I probly would've attended last nights art show here but I had to go home to dig through my storage to get some raku pottery I created last summer to bring here for the Art Crawl this weekend. Actually I didnt even know we had an art show here until the day of.. I probly heard people talking about an art show but just assumed it was the art crawl. All the ceramic work im displaying will be for sale. My mission is to make enough money to buy a cheap phone for myself. I was in last years art crawl but didn't have any of my work priced but is was cool to just have my art on display. I did sell a piece at a sale where randy went to. Aside from selling my work. It was a great honor to win an scholastic art award this year. There alot of great artwork from here that should've got an award too. but its whatever. I remember one year like five kids got an award and that was awesome. Im glad to recieve an award this year and represent CAHS. Im sure I will sell some artwork and I hope you do too. I might stop in tonight to see whats up
