lördagen den 18:e februari 2012

Den som inte glor på melodifestivalen ikväll kan diskutera konstens kommersiella villkor i SL istället..

Flåt 8AM SLT är INTE 20:00 utan 17:00 svensk tid.. hehe.. men det blev en mer iögonfallande rubrik av misstaget!


FreeWee Ling är inte bara curator för UWA Art Challenges hon har också startat en gruppen ArtGyro med en egen blogg ArtGyro: Sustainable Arts in Virtual Worlds samt, med början föra lördagen ArtGyro Open Forum som träffas och diskuterar på lördagar.


ArtGyro Open Forum: The Cost of Art
Saturday, 18 February, at 8:00AM SLT
ArtGyro LEA sim (LEA18)
Contact: FreeWee Ling


Following the first ArtGyro Open Forum on arts sustainability, three general areas of concern emerged: Commerce, Intellectual Property, and Legacy. Our next forum with be in the Commerce track and we will be discussing the cost of creating, displaying, selling, buying, and owning art. Everyone interested in the future of art in SL is encouraged to attend.


In preparation for the forum, here are some questions to stimulate conversation:

What are the expenses related to creating, buying, selling, presenting, marketing?
Who pays for what?
Are expectations for income from selling art realistic?
Given the costs, can art be a viable business in SL?
What are some examples of successful commercial galleries (i.e., those which sell art)?
How are prices for art determined? (This may be a whole separate discussion.)
