To Join or Not To Join, That is the Question


Interesting two quotes from Robert Genn's newsletter today. Looks like I am currently following Braques advice, I could be in worse company.

"Active art associations create a dynamic atmosphere that
positively influences artists as well as the viewing
community." (Karen Honaker) "Never join an organization."
(Georges Braque)

I'm finding it hard to join at the moment. I belonged to SAQA quite a while ago and rejoined last year. I figured it might get me some info about shows to enter. I'm glad my expectations were pretty low. I'm not renewing. As far as I can tell it mainly gives people something to put on their resume under "professional organizations". OH well. Different strokes.

I'm trying to stay open to some sort of local artists' coffee klatsch or something like that. But then I meet some local artists and think - um no thank you. LOL. OK, I guess I'm definitely in a no-join mood!

That's it? You are leaving us hanging? Where's the rest?
