Marks post is one of the most insulting posts I have ever read on this board.
"They tend toward tractor "pitchers" and those of chickens and what not"
WOW! Way to put a whole State into one bucket of trailer trash!
Rod!

I am pretty familiar with Wisconsin, having lived and raised children there.I
did shows there early on (late 70's) and did Madison on the Square a few years
back.With all respect due my cheese head brethren pretty sure those blue collar
folks ain't the ones buying things to hang on the walls.They tend toward tractor
"pitchers" and those of chickens and what not.
Hope the union gets shown the door, they stopped caring about the worker along
time back, chose instead to line their own pockets.

What is the future for art shows in Wisconsin? Given the current political
unrest and the proposed 'union busting' bill, I believe the future does not
look good for shows in Wisconsin, especially the smaller shows. Included in
the bill is the provision that all public employees will have to pay a
proportion of retirement and health costs - this is about 8% of a salary.
Whether or not you believe this should occur (I do NOT want to start a
political debate here), people will not have the discretionary money they
used to have that they can spend on art. I know this is the case for us -
my wife's income will be cut by about 8% - the only reason we can stay where
we are living now is that I teach some extra classes that will make up the
shortfall.
What do other people think about the future now? i know there was doom and
gloom a few years ago with the tanking economy - but this is now added on
top. I have to seriously think about how many shows I will do this year,
and how to price my work.
Opinions?
Steve
