I do most of the work because that's most efficient, although I accept all help offered. I find that organizing one to two shows a year is more than enough. It provides me some cred, and I support my artist friends and make new contacts. <br /><br />I encourage artists to curate, it will help your career.Anna Stumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909385054627365677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-67546200081337878222012-05-09T14:54:59.075-04:002012-05-09T14:54:59.075-04:00Good post, Joanne.

But did you see her main point? Start your own blog! Make it good. Let other people (like Joanne and others with influential blogs, columns, presences and personalities) know about it and your voice can be part of the dialogue.

I sincerely believe that whatever positive energy we can put towards creating a better situation for ourselves as artists and sharing information as a community, the better we all will be in the end. <br /><br />I could have just did my residency without anyone knowing and it still would have worked out fine for me.

But if you can't land on top of the heap, at least you (and I don't literally mean Y-O-U) can have some fun at the bottom by picking art friends who share the same seriousness about their work but enjoy laughing at life's ridiculousness. <br /><br />At one time in my life I got stuck in a bind ofNancy Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325421420384484035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-13006233671456027612012-05-07T15:03:09.191-04:002012-05-07T15:03:09.191-04:00Great post, Joanne.

And I want to give a shout out to my friend Karen Schifano, because we had a similar discussion over lunch not long ago- and I took her advice, offering to write for the blog adobe airstream. It was really fun and I hope to do it regularly.

To those anonymous negative people above, I'd say, you're missing the point. It's not about how hard it is, or being part of a "circle-jerk".
