> ECONOMIC IMPACT OF ARTS IN MISSOURI
Missouri Citizens for the Arts is reporting a national survey which showed that there are 8,420 arts related businesses and 53,761 people employed by the arts in Missouri... 548,000 arts businesses and 2,900,000 people employed nationwide, which comes to 4.3% of all businesses and 2.2% of all American employees. I'm pretty sure these figures do not include all artists who make at least part of their living in the profession, but the survey is an indicator. Learn more here:

> KUNSTBAR
Joplin artist, Woody Stevens, made me aware of a truly delightful short animated art film titled "Kunstbar" created in 2002 by 5 collaborators under the name THE PETRIE LOUNGE. A guy goes into a bar and orders a cocktail from a menu consisting of several names of famous artists... e.g. Pollock, Klee, Picasso, etc. He first orders the Pollock, and then the fun starts! Nice film, kids will like it too. See it here:

~ "Department of Whatever It Takes" ~
Abel Prieto, in an interview with Jon Lee Anderson (New Yorker magazine, July 31, 2006, page 53) said,
"The appetite for culture, the social prestige of the artist, of the intellectual, of the writer, has grown enormously [since 2003]. There was a time when parents thought that the arts would turn their sons into gays, or their daughters into sluts, but now everyone wants to have an artist in the family."
