Artist should be valued with critical acclaim and also with financial rewards. The two do not need to be mutually exclusive although it is OK if they are. <br /><br />You should feel free to express your opinions about the art shows you see and we are glad to let you have a voice at SDVAN. But not if you remain anonymous.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466326752758836872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480777122984305387.post-43336860352434214392011-09-08T10:46:40.861-07:002011-09-08T10:46:40.861-07:00Dear Anonymous - First, have the courage to sign y...Dear Anonymous - First, have the courage to sign your own name when you leave comments, it will make what you have to say more credible. Second, I don't have a cabal that I hang with or am sympathetic to. It's not my style. Finally, I have no idea who and what you are referring to when you speak of "said person" supposedly in my cabal. Clarify if you can.Kevin Freitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900228510168448833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480777122984305387.post-23056538960910631342011-08-24T13:47:32.919-07:002011-08-24T13:47:32.919-07:00"the goal is to sell"... because that is..."the goal is to sell"... because that is what art is all about... at least in san diego.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480777122984305387.post-32743061761555446302011-08-24T13:45:49.446-07:002011-08-24T13:45:49.446-07:00so much for "We encourage writers to develop ...so much for "We encourage writers to develop their voice..." right kevin... as long as said writing doesnt call out someone in your cabal for the ideas expressed in their art.<br /><br />how is anyone supposed to take you seriously?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480777122984305387.post-22873171418080860042011-08-24T13:33:08.942-07:002011-08-24T13:33:08.942-07:00Bravo to Thumbprint...I think they are doing such ...Bravo to Thumbprint...I think they are doing such a good job.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466326752758836872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480777122984305387.post-50400890145715663832011-08-24T12:15:38.456-07:002011-08-24T12:15:38.456-07:00You put them in a comfortable environment with pri...You put them in a comfortable environment with prices they can afford, let them see others buying art, and give them drinks. The multi-talented Johnny Tran seems to have a good handle on selling art to the young and hip. He makes the commercial aspect part of a fun evening, including music, food, drinks etc. Typically artists are present, and there is a range of kinds of art to buy -- in terms of prints, ranging in size and price, paintings ranging in size and price, etc. It's put out there that *the goal is to sell*, so it makes buyers feel good about the purchase.
