Lace in Translation will be the first exhibition produced by The Design Center in conjunction with its new interpretive initiative, The Fabric of Philadelphia. Three contemporary art/design studios, whose works are often inspired by traditional lace imagery, are mining the historic lace collection at The Design Center (TDC) for inspiration. These Dutch and Canadian art/design teams are being commissioned to create new, site-specific works for installation in the Center�s galleries and on its adjoining grounds during the fall and winter of 2009/10. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Welcome to the Wilderness
Barney Davey
 It is not just visual artists. In many ways, these days we are all wanderers in the wilderness. That is, if the wilderness can be described as being in a place unfamiliar to us. I am not talking about healthcare, global warming, housing or the economy here. There are plenty of sources for information on those topics. I am specifically discussing how getting your art to market is different and more unfamiliar these days. Can there be artist reading this post who has not changed up what they are doing in an effort to stimulate sales? This is not completely new. Smart marketing artists have always looked for new ways to create selling opportunities. What is different now is the old ways of doing things have become less reliable than in the past. Tradeshows such as ArtExpo New York and Decor Expo Atlanta are a shell of their former glorious selves. The sister magazines that serve the same audience of art dealers and galleries, notably Art Business News, Art World News and Decor are slimmed down versions of their peak years.
