Hi Steve,
It only will affect the low end sales. That is why you need to have both.

Subject: [artshow_photo] Art show future in WI?
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
