Increasingly, we also need to understand and talk about artists' work as an asset that contributes to the society around them, rather than to just understand and talk about artists' survival and needs. We should develop a view that encompasses the larger web of which artists are a part, and we should find the words to talk about that understanding. Concentrate actions in specific places. I suggest that we concentrate our actions in specific places.
Art happens one mind to one mind.
It won't be that easy. For the most part, actions that involve getting and using money should develop in specific circumstances, through the efforts of specific people, for more specific purposes than this initiative originally imagined. By suggesting that we take action in particular places I also mean to suggest that, rather than spending too much time trying to find the one best way that all of us can move forward at once, we should figure out what we can do with our own resources and within our own communities or areas of interest and get on with the business of doing it. Certainly, it is the specific examples of new and existing efforts that gave me such a boost as I worked on this project. Share ideas broadly.
