Diana Rico...on the Artsist Workshop
Thank you for the opportunity to teach the artist’s statement workshop. The participants’ responses were so heartening, I got inspired and wrote a post for my blog. I will send it in a separate email to the workshoppers, but here is the link, if you want to share it with the general TAO membership:http://theloveartblog.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/try-a-little-tenderness/ And speaking of that, I would like to offer all TAO members $5 off the JumpstART Creativity Workshops I am teaching Saturday 2/28 and 3/7 (I will be covering different material each day, and people can sign up for one or both). These are designed to address any sort of fear or blockage someone is having at any point in their creative process. I’m attaching a flier, if you want to email that to the membership as well. Thanks so much!

The Boom is Over. Long Live the Art by Holland Cotter
Sunday New York Times, February 15, 2009
I invite all of TAO members to read this article from the New York Times on the future of art [in this economy]. It is a short history of contemporary art as well as a testiment to how we are all in this together.
