Hello All,
We are excited to join the list and ready with an inquiry
for those of you kind enough to help us out. Carla and I are Berea College
undergrads majoring in studio art with an emphasis in ceramics. During the
upcoming month of January we are performing an independent study in and
around Atlanta as to how artists support and establish themselves. We want
to explore dynamics such as: personal and public struggles, resources both
private and public (financial and other), strategies to engage best with th=
e
community, inspiration, obstacles, marketing, etc. We will be gathering mos=
t
of our information via personal interviews. We have decided to concentrate
on artists who support themselves with their art. However, we are intereste=
d
(of course in ceramic artists and) artists of all mediums. We have also set
aside a small portion of the study for musicians and the like. We heard tha=
t
the clayart listserve often is a great resource. Thus we would love to know
if anyone out there knows of or can contact us with dynamic artists or
musicians in the Atlanta area who would benefit our study.

Thanks for listening,

Tiff and Carla

P.S. We are fabulous interviewers and are prepared to trade dinner and/or
drinks in exchange for the story of someone's journey through art
