Artist Support Group Holds First Meeting

The first meeting of the Artist Support Group will be this Sunday, April 3^rd , shortly after 12 noon in the Guild Room of St. Paul's Cathedral, 2728 Sixth Ave., San Diego, CA 92103. Bring your own lunch.

This meeting will be a guided discussion of benefits which the group could offer such as tips for the business side of your art, income generating through your art and aids to productivity.

Many artists have expressed interest in this group on various levels of need. Some are concerned about a lack of inspiration and being "blocked". Others feel the need for an accountability group to aid their productivity. Still others want to know how to make a living without curtailing their art.

All of these needs are related: without inspiration your productivity is lowered which, in turn, limits the art that people will invest in, or base various kinds of financial support upon. Without financial support the artist has to do something else and the world is the poorer for it.

Under the sponsorship of St. Paul's Center for the Performing and Visual Arts, we hope this group will help artists work out solutions to these challenges and that more art will flow as a result. It is based on the model of mutual help, networking and occasional guest speakers.

All interested artists and arts supporters in all artistic disciplines (including writing and filmmaking) are invited to come. For more information call Donna's cell 760-445-9470, or e-mail Mark markarturner@gmail.com .
