Thanks so much for the list, and happy new year! One thing I would add to the list: the New York Foundation for the Arts http://www.nyfa.org In particular the “opportunities for artists” listings (http://www.nyfa.org/opportunities.asp?type=Opportunity&opp=OppArtist&id=95&fid=1&sid=54) and NYFA Source database of opportunities for artists (http://www.nyfa.org/source/content/search/search.aspx?SA=1). It a great contemporary art list.

-Corey

Good advice.
For most of my career as a sculptor, I have sold to the .01%. Lately these folks have not been purchasing sculpture. Listening to Elizabeth Warren’s comments where she said, “nobody ever got rich by themselves and others saying that is the only way that the economy grows is when the middle class buys things.

Taking that concept to heart, I am going to be making small objects at extremely modest prices so the people I identify with can afford them.

I still amazes me that we can take something from the brain, move our hands, and stand in awe what appears…
