If you see the front page of the paper today and tomorrow, you’ll see why the blog has been bare for the last week. I’ve been putting together these stories on why artists don’t make much money, and (for Monday) on what people are doing about it.
Please, I’d love to hear your reactions to the stories, and even more, what your own story is as an artist, a musician, a writer, a filmmaker, a dancer, an actor . . . how are you keeping it together? Please post to the Comments section here.
Ann — I’d like to help an area artist make some money. The UofM Medical SchoolDuluth Campus is starting a search for an artist who can help us create a Wall of Honor in our building at UMD. This campus of the medical school plans to honor organizations and people who have made significant contributions to our school in the form of gifts that support programs, endowed chairs and professorships, scholarships and research. The final list of honorees will include founders, other individuals, corporations and foundations. Many colleges and universities have Walls of Honor that simply list of names and categories on plaques. We believe that our donors and the community of Duluth deserve recognition that extends beyond a plaque. We would like to commission and erect a work of art that will be mounted on a wall within our medical school atrium where it will be visible and where we often host medical school events. We want it to inspire our students and the public as well as thank our generous donors.
