What is the role of the artist? James Baldwin said, "The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see." Or similarly, as Rick Rubin suggests, "Art is our portal to the unseen world.” Artists illuminate our interiors and bring forth that which we haven't known, or haven't known how to articulate. They have risked their heart and soul, and they are in service to the art. In today's market, brands are art, and artists are brands. This raises the question, is it art if it is made for the consumer? This exchange informs the art and blurs the artist's intent. In this relationship, the artist needs to be protected—they need boundaries for the abundance of expression. If we look at Rick Rubin's artist priorities, "Inspiration comes first. You come next. The audience comes last.” With this order in mind, the artist in service to a brand has their priorities inverted. Art is made through the channel that is your expression, only as you can share it, only yours throughout all space and time, and made for art's sake. Let's practice uplifting the artist in each of us and in our society at large. Make art a priority. Recognize that it has been the lifeblood of our communities, culture, and commerce for all of history. Here are our antidotes for the artist within and those all around us. https://lnkd.in/ensT3WRi

Why Should Arts Organizations Test Prices Instead of Simply Raising Them? In many cases, arts organizations are already using some form of dynamic pricing—they might not realize it. For example, raising prices after reaching a specific sales target is a type of dynamic pricing. However, it’s not the most effective approach. Here’s why: If your tickets are selling very quickly, there's a high chance that you’re leaving money on the table. If you are only raising prices based on capacity, you will never know when you have gone too far. With Vatic, prices are tested daily based on demand. If demand is high, prices increase incrementally. If demand is low, prices decrease incrementally. It's that simple! Pricing should never be based on feelings or emotions; it should reflect the behavior of the people actually buying the tickets. 🎟️

Removing that DREAD😕 of numbers and replacing with CLARITY💡 . Profit Coach working with business owners to create a profitable business and have guilt-free spending in their personal life.
It was our wedding anniversary this week and so we went out for the 'anniversary dinner' on Saturday evening - which was fabulous at Number One in Edinburgh. We also went to an art exhibition at the wonderful Lemond Gallery (thanks Ken Lemond) where we treated ourselves to a couple of paintings. We both love collecting Scottish Art and we never know when we will come across a piece that we really want. That is why we have an 'art pot'. Money put aside each month so that we can buy something when we see it with no guilt or debate of whether we should be spending the money - that is what we have put the money aside for. I call it guilt-free spending and it takes the stress out of buying something you love and want rather than need. What would you like to build up a 'pot' for so you can spend guilt-free? #profitfirst #guiltfreespending #cashmanagement

Host of Platemark: prints and the printmaking ecosystem and VP, Fine Arts Baltimore
If you've been following along, you'll have heard me ramble on about Atelier 17. But did you know the 100th anniversary of its founding is coming up in 2027? Under the leadership of the intrepid Christina Weyl, we've formed The Atelier 17 Project, a non-profit organization that encourages new research about the history of Atelier 17. We seek artists and art historians to partner with us in developing a variety of centennial projects in 2027 and to offer fresh perspectives about Atelier 17 and its members. Some possible methods of contribution include the following. Develop a centennial project: exhibitions, publications, one-off events such as a hands-on workshop or public forums, or other out-of-the-box ideas. New research: Consider sharing your research in an online workshop, which Christina is co-organizing with James Chadwick (University of Amsterdam). Abstracts are due April 30. Christina and James plan for the papers to form the basis of a centennial catalogue. Atelier 17’s Roster: Christina has updated the roster of Atelier 17 artists with 300 names. (Any list is based on Joann Moser’s list compiled in 1977.) We encourage you to reach out if you have any additional details to share. We also seek to fundraise towards a host of projects. There is a donate button over on the website. Stay tuned for news to come. Christina's gorgeous website is here: https://lnkd.in/g_dU66rG
