Arts Action Alert - Take Action Now!
Dear Arts Advocate:

Today and tomorrow, hundreds of dedicated arts supporters- from 45 states- will come together in Washington, DC for the 27th annual National Arts Advocacy Day, the only national event that brings together a broad cross section of America's cultural and civic organizations. These arts advocates represent a united effort to tell Capitol Hill how important the arts are to our communities, how much arts education means to our children, and how the arts improve our daily lives. Over 85 national cosponsoring organizations have helped us shape this united arts message to Congress. We wanted to let you know about a number of ways you can participate even if you aren't able to attend the Hill Day in person.

Marine artist Guy Harvey seeks partnership as another way to spread ocean conservation message - posted by Florida Fine Art Blog

Marine artist Guy Harvey seeks partnership as another way to spread ocean conservation message
  
Guy Harvey is perhaps best known for his gamefish T-shirt designs, but the marine artist and conservationist's artwork is about to make waves on a whole new level.
Norwegian Cruise Line has tapped Harvey to design the signature hull artwork for its largest ship, launching in October 2015, the Miami-based cruise operator announced Wednesday.

...
The cruise ship hull project, which spans 1,065 feet in length, will be Harvey's biggest canvass yet.
"Guy Harvey is the perfect artist to design Norwegian Escape's hull artwork because he is so passionate about the sea and his marine artwork is so life-like and well-recognized," Norwegian CEO Kevin Sheehan said. "We also appreciate how [he] is focused on ocean conservation and keeping the marine environment pristine."

As a marine artist, Harvey got his first big exposure in America at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show some 28 years ago when he was invited to display his art at the boating event, while living in Jamaica.
Today his reputation as a leading marine artist and ocean conservation champion is widely recognized.
Norwegian also plans to help support the work of the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation as it ties in with the company's "strong commitment to the environment," Sheehan said.

Every fisherman in South Florida is familiar with Guy Harvey T-shirts. Guy Harvey T's have been the unofficial uniform for the South Florida boating crowd for the past 30 years.  His artwork has been the entryway for many into fine art collecting.  More than a few times I have seen the progression; first the T-shirts then framed prints to finally interest in not just original work from Guy but other fine artists as well.  Like fishing itself, it takes that first bite of something small and attractive to get them hooked!  GL

Arts & Culture Day in Tallahassee - March 18th - by Florida Fine Art Blog

http://culturebuildsflorida.org/about/

Arts & Culture Day in Tallahassee - March 18th 2014

March 18th is the day that art organizations and advocates meet to walk the halls of the capital and talk with legislators to discuss public funding of the arts in Florida.  Public Funding in Florida has been cut by more than 70% since 2009.  Although we have seen increases in the past few years the State has a long way to go to bring the funding back up to the level that matchs our State Arts Organization’s needs.  The message we are delivering is simple; The Arts mean Jobs.  GL

Substantial Returns to Government Treasuries — $5 Returned For Each State $1 Invested
Florida's not-for-profit arts and culture industry "delivers more than $446.5 million in local and state government revenue.” In 2008, $250 million was returned to Florida’s state treasury and $200 million to local governments.*
 

Supports Over 88,326 Full-Time JOBS Throughout Florida
According to Dun & Bradstreet as of January 2012, Florida is home to 67,487 arts-related businesses that employ 217,406 people. These arts-centric businesses are vital to help build and sustain economic diversity and vibrancy.  In 2008, Florida's not-for-profit arts and culture organizations supported over 88,326 full-time equivalent jobs that generated $2.1 billion in household income to local residents.*
 
Builds A Diverse and Innovative State Economy
Florida's arts and culture not-for-profit industry generates over $3.1 billion in local economic activity: last reported amounts are $1.4 billion spent by the not-for-profit arts and cultural organizations and $1 billion in event-related spending by their audiences. According to such non-arts organizations such as the Florida Chamber and Associated Industries of Florida, our arts and culture resources are vital to build a strong, diverse, and innovative economy.*

Expands Tourism Throughout Florida
According to Florida Tax Watch Tourism Research Report, 74.9% of visitors to Florida participate in cultural activities. The report goes on to say we need to understand the factors that make Florida an attractive destination and retain and enhance those factors. Research demonstrates that of the 58-million attendees (84% residents) and visitors (16%) at Florida arts and culture events, the non-local attendees spend an average of 137 percent more (lodging, meals, transportation, souvenirs, etc.) than resident attendees per person: $57.49 vs. $24.25.*
 
Gives Florida the Competitive Edge to Attract and Retain Key Businesses
Part of the criteria used by both Scripps Research and Burnham Institute for Medical Research on where to locate in Florida was how healthy the arts and culture resources were in the areas they considered. They decided upon Palm Beach and Orange counties, both replete with quality and diverse arts and culture resources. Cities are competing to attract new, promising businesses; and “international studies show that the winners will be communities that offer an abundance of arts and culture opportunities."
 
Develops Strong and Effective Private-Public Partnerships
Over 50% of Florida’s arts and culture not-for-profit organizations’ annual operating budgets must be raised through individual contributions; fund-raising events; corporate and foundation support; and local, state, and federal governmental grants. State support is critical to help leverage other revenue sources critical to sustain this creative industry — jobs, programming, arts education, and greater access for more residents and tourists.
 
Request Restoration of State Investment for Greater Impact
Florida's investment in its arts and culture resources is now 73% less than it was seven years ago. In FY 2007, Florida invested $34.4 million or $1.86 per capita in statewide arts, arts education, and culture grants. It now invests $9.3 million or 48¢ per capita. Working together through public and private partnerships, let’s rebuild and restore Florida's investment in this critically important creative industry. It’s an industry vital to the state’s economy, education success, tourism, community development, and quality of life for residents of and visitors to Florida.

Fun in the Sun(2012), collage, 25 x 15"

Bruce Helander - 2014 Florida Artist Hall of Fame Inductee  

This Tuesday night in Tallahassee Florida, Bruce Helander will be inducted into the Florida Artist Hall of Fame. Established by the Florida Legislature in 1986, the Florida Artists Hall of Fame recognizes persons, living or deceased, who have made significant contributions to the arts in Florida either as performing or practicing artists in individual disciplines. These individuals contribute to Florida's national or international reputation as a state with a strong and sustained commitment toward the development of cultural excellence.

Bruce along with fellow inductee Tom Petty will be given this high award by Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner.  I will be there representing the Florida Council on Arts and Culture as part of Florida Heritage Awards.  

I am excited to meet Mr. Helander as I have been an admirer of his for some time.  Mr Helader had a gallery on Worth Avenue that was a model for me when I was just starting to think of the gallery business.  My father would take me to Bruce's to show an example of how a successful gallery was run.  

Along with being an artist and gallerist Bruce is an art advocate as well.  Bruce is the Editor-in-Chief of The Art Economist and currently contributes to The Huffington Post. He has been a contributor to numerous magazines, including Art and Living, ARTnews and The New Yorker.  GL



 Bruce Helander

From Bruce's Website Bio; 
Bruce Helander is an artist whose specialty is collage and assemblage. He has a master’s degree in painting from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, where he later became the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of the college. He is a fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and recently won the South Florida Cultural Consortium fellowship for professional achievement in the visual arts.


Helander arrived in Palm Beach in 1982 from New York City, where he published Art Express magazine. He quickly established a cutting edge gallery on Worth Avenue that thrived for thirteen years. During that time he opened a second gallery on West Broadway in New York City. He was also a commissioner for ARCOM in Palm Beach and the vice-president of the Worth Avenue Association. He is active in the south Florida art scene and is on the board of directors at the Armory Art Center.

Art Business Workshop at Art Serve - posted by Florida Fine Art Blog

Florida Workshop Series Teaches Business to Artists

Baltimore, MD March 10, 2014 - The Arts Business Institute, will present a series of four business workshops in Florida this April. This series is co-sponsored by Florida Craftsmen, a statewide organization promoting fine craft art. The schedule begins with a workshop event in Ft. Lauderdale on March 31 – April, followed by an Orlando workshop on April 2-3, a workshop in St. Petersburg April 7-8, and a workshop event in Tallahassee on April 10-11.

Each business workshop presents sound principles that address the difficulties many artists face in marketing and selling their work, as well as specialized information from experts in the industry.

Presentations include: How to Wholesale, Building Gallery Relationships, Pricing for Profit and Sales Strategies. Personal critiques and consultations are available on the second day of each event for artists who pre-schedule. Tuition is $95.00.

The focus of each workshop is to assist creative entrepreneurs in moving from part-time to full-time businesses through better understanding their target market and how to reach it effectively.

Arts Business Institute founder Wendy Rosen says, “Many of our students have found our intensive workshop experience transformational, and we are pleased to see artists who have attended increase their sales and grow their businesses. One of our most popular workshop features is the personalized business consultation, where we address challenges and discuss specific strategies for the individual

Details and registration information can be found on The Arts Business Institute website.

The Arts Business Institute is a 503(c) nonprofit organization devoted to helping artists and craftspeople launch and grow successful businesses. For the past sixteen years, ABI has worked with artists and craftspeople to develop their businesses and provide a pathway to the wholesale marketplace. 

The Arts Business Institute can be found online at www.ArtsBusinessInstitute.org.

The good folks at Art Business Institute sent the above presser over and I'm happy to post it.  The seminar topics sound informative.  I haven't seen any of the e-course, books or cd's they are selling so can't vouch for them but there probably worth a look. I can tell you when I was just starting out I took an art selling workshop, given in a hotel conference room.  I wish I could remember the mans name who taught the course to give him proper credit but it was 20 years ago.  Anyway, I didn't have high hopes for the course at the time but I still draw on the information I learned in that course all these years later.  Sometimes you need someone who has compiled information from experience to set you in the right direction.  
They also have a great website with tips and links to articles worth a look.  I really like the artist page which highlights artists with a short interview, pictures of their work and a link to the artists websites.  

As I've mentioned in past posts, Art Serve, the venue for these workshops in Fort Lauderdale is a great resource for artist in South Florida. I highly recommend taking advantage of all they have to offer.  GL

Acclaimed Haitian Artist Edouard Duval-Carrié Debutes at Perez Art Museum - posted by Florida Fine Art Blog

After Heade: Moonlit Landscape, 2013, Edouard Duval-Carrié’
  
Acclaimed Haitian Artist Edouard Duval-Carrié Debutes at Perez Art Museum 
Imagined Landscapes
March 13th to August 31st 2014
Edouard Duval-Carrié: Imagined Landscapes is an exhibition project involving a series of new works generated over the past year by the Haitian-born, Miami-based artist Edouard Duval-Carrié (b. 1954). Known for his innovative adaptions of traditional Haitian iconography, which he engages in order to address contemporary social and political conditions, Duval-Carrié is presenting a series of large-scale paintings and sculptures. Contrasting his signature use of strong colors, this project presents works executed entirely in black and silver glitter. Involving extensive research, Imagined Landscapes presents lush tropical scenes that reference specific nineteenth-century paintings executed in the Caribbean and Florida. These paintings, by artists such as William Heade and Frederick Church, were commissioned as part of Colonial interests in promoting economic development of these areas of the world. The artists used pictorial effects, imagination and fictions to present the Caribbean as the “New Eden,” a fertile land of possibility. Duval-Carrié’s works translate these historical images into his own contemporary aesthetic language, in order to address the manner in which the tropics of the Caribbean and Florida continue to be sold as tropical paradises, in ways that often obscure economic and social disparities that continue to be perpetuated in these contexts.

What could be my favorite piece from the permanent collection of the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Edouard Duval-Carrié has an installation wall mount on the first floor.  "The Indigo Room or Is Memory Water Soluble."  Often overlooked because the piece hangs on a wall not seen from the main gallery's. It's a powerful work of art.  The piece is a collaboration with students from Dillard Center for the Arts. Beautiful blues and greens back-lit for an effect like the large stain glass found in churches.  The church effect is amplified by the small quite space the piece is hung in.  The story told is one of immigration across water, a story familiar to every American's family story.  The dangers and uncertainty of the journey are represented by the students in the painted tiles as is the price the country left behind pays for all it's sons and daughters leaving for good.

My Great Grandfather came down to South Florida around 1912 for the fishing and my family has had a line in the water ever since.  With news of the fifth or sixth snow storm in a row up north this year I am thankful the fishing was good on my Great Grandfathers first trip.   Fishing has always been a lure to Northerners with ideas of catching giant ocean game fish.

Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting - Orlando Museum of Art - posted by Florida Fine Art Blog



Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting Orlando Museum of Art
January 25 – May 25, 2014

Paintings From the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky

Tremendous changes swept Europe between 1600 and 1800, the years in which the art in this exhibition was produced. Religious upheavals transformed the way people thought about and utilized art. Trade routes to faraway lands, such as China and India, became more established, ensuring a steady stream of exotic goods for European consumers. Advances in the sciences transformed long held views on the way the universe worked and the place of humans within that universe. Technical aspects of art making were honed and codified, as art academies grew in number and power.

These exciting times resulted in a golden age of European painting. The number of artists and the number of art collectors grew exponentially during this period, as the fine arts reached an increasingly wider audience. This exhibition will feature 71 paintings from this remarkable period by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Steen, Jacob van Ruisdael, William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough and Pompeo Batoni, among many others.

Comprised of the major genres of painting that were popular at this time – portraits, religious paintings, landscapes, scenes of everyday life, still lifes and interpretations of classical antiquity – this exhibition will illustrate both the people and the objects that made the two centuries between 1600 and 1800 such a rich cultural age. Highlighting work from Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, the Netherlands, Germany and England, this exhibition will illustrate how the tremendous changes in religion and science, coupled with the economic growth that swept Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, gave way to a period of incredible artistic creation.

Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute (AEI) for South Florida artists - posted by Florida Fine Art Blog

 
Broward Cultural Division, The Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (CPAC), and ArtServe announce the return of the very successful Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute (AEI) for South Florida artists. The program, to be presented on four Saturdays in June, will be held at ArtServe,1350 E. Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to attend including but not limited to, sculptors, illustrators, metalworkers, writers, dancers, jewelers, musicians, performers, media/filmmakers, photographers, crafts, designers and all interdisciplinary artists. More than 400 artists have graduated from this groundbreaking Institute.

AEI is a course of study designed to assist individual artists by cultivating and advancing their business skills, and helping them to strengthen their operating infrastructure and expand their business. To date, more than 400 South Florida artists have graduated from the Institute, and many with exceptional success stories that follow. AEI will be offered as 20 classes convening during full-day sessions, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. on June 7, 14, 21 and a Business Plan Clinic and Workshop on June 28, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.


Looks like a good program put on by two important local organizations; the Broward Cultural Division and Art Serve. Whenever I'm asked by artists just starting out where they can network and gain knowledge about the process of selling artwork I direct them to Art Serve.  The business side of the creative process is often the most misunderstood and undervalued.  GL
