Photos, and Dancing, and More Books!!!
Bambino and I have full dance cards this evening, attending two events that offer real ITE* value. First is the book signing for Jackie Battenfield's new book, The Artist's Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love. I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy, and I can tell you it's simply packed with real world, world-class advice. For those who don't know her, Jackie founded the highly regarded and very effective "Artists in the Marketplace" program at the Bronx Museum (deadline for next session of which is June 30).
I've known artists before they took Jackie's course and then saw what can only be described as metamorphic differences in how professionally they went about finding galleries and working with them after the course. Truly, I'm not sure there's anything Jackie doesn't know about the emerging art market, having seen in it from the administration, dealer, and the artist's points of view. Here are the details for the event:
Then, thanks to those lovely patrons of the arts, MAO and Dr. Quiz, we're off to "Some Like It Hot," Aperture's first Summer Party. MAO tells the story:

Wish I could be in NYC for the Aperture Party, yowza that sounds like a good time. Although I bet after a night of high balls and photography my depth of field would go from 22 to 1.8.
I latched on to Jackie Battenfield when she came to Miami along with some other talented people facilitating a Creative Capital Professional Development Workshop. I can't praise her highly enough when it comes to career matters for artists. I also have an advance copy of Artist's Guide and it's going to get a glowing review at Artblog.net. This is really the first book to come along that compares well enough to Caroll Michels' How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist (now in its sixth edition, in case anyone is still listening to Zipthwung) to make a choice between the two difficult. If you're an artist and you have a chance to work with Jackie personally, I recommend it.
Many thanks for the very kind mention of my book on artblog.net, as well Franklin. Much appreciated!
Could you post pictures of Bambino shaking his groove thang?
