Obama's Budget Request for the NEA: The Fine Print Americans for the Arts Share
The Obama administration has released its fourth budget request covering all federal agencies, including the National Endowment for the Arts. Americans for the Arts learned that President Barack Obama is proposing an increase of $8 million for the NEA, which was a very positive start. In the past two years, NEA funding has dropped almost $22 million and has yet to recover from the enormous cuts from its high of $176 million in 1992. More
How to Get Ahead in US Museums Art Newspaper Share
Senior curators who want to step up and run a museum have to overcome a credibility gap in the eyes of many trustees seeking a director. Agnes Gund, the president emerita of New York's Museum of Modern Art, grew increasingly frustrated while sitting on selection committees because curators were being put "in last place." Four years ago, she did something about it, launching the New York–based Center for Curatorial Leadership. More Eternal Copyright: A Modest Proposal Telegraph Share
Last week the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) posted a message on RnBXclusive.com, stating: "If you have downloaded music using this website you may have committed a criminal offence which carries a maximum penalty of up to ten years imprisonment and an unlimited fine under UK law." SOCA's threat is a stirring defense of what we hold dear in this country: the right of a creator to benefit from their intellectual property, whether it be a song, book, film, or game. Yet now, as we've instituted decade-long jail terms and unlimited fines for copyright infringers, it's time to take the next step in extending copyright terms even further. More
Antiquities Issue Rears Head with Getty Leaders Potts, Cuno In Place Los Angeles Times Share
Over the last five years, the J. Paul Getty Museum has earned a reputation as a leading reformer on a topic that has embroiled American museums in scandal for the past decade: the acquisition of recently looted antiquities. After evidence of the museum's longtime participation in the illicit trade was uncovered by Italian and Greek investigators, the Getty agreed to return forty-nine of its most prized pieces of ancient art, cultivated collaborative relationships with those countries, and adopted a strict acquisition policy, setting a standard that has been adopted by museums across the country.

Artists and Digital: Why Social Media Is the New Gallery Mashable Share
The starving artist is such a cliché, and fortunately it might become a thing of the past. Using social-media tools and platforms, visual artists have new ways to market their work and connect with buyers far and wide. Because these websites are free to use, platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram are quickly becoming as important to an artist as the paintbrush and palette. Mashable spoke with a few artists who are using social media to promote their work and who have made a sale or two by connecting with buyers online. More Fear Heightens Appreciation of Abstract Art Miller-McCune Share
Are you puzzled by Picasso? Perplexed by Pollock? Do you feel you're missing out on something profound when friends discuss their intense reaction to abstract art? You could do some research to better understand what you're looking at. Or you could turn off the lights and watch a DVD of Psycho. A newly published study finds people are more likely to be moved and intrigued by abstract paintings if they have just experienced a good scare. This suggests the allure of art may be "a byproduct of one's tendency to be alarmed by such environmental features as novelty, ambiguity, and the fantastic," argues the lead author Kendall Eskine, a research psychologist at Loyola University New Orleans.

Dutch Artist's Works Found in British Warehouse Guardian Share
More than four hundred works of art by a celebrated twentieth-century Dutch artist have been found in a British warehouse a decade after they disappeared. Karel Appel, a leading expressionist who died at 85 in 2006, never recovered from the loss of a lifetime's worth of drawings, sketches, notebooks, and other works believed to be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The warehouse was bought by a UK storage and logistics company before Christmas and, in clearing out the contents, staff came across eight boxes filled with Appel's artworks. More Participants at Arts and Crafts Fairs Find Theft All Too Prevalent The Huffington Post Share
Unzipping her booth tent the second morning of an arts fair, the mixed-media artist Patricia Hecker of Bloomington, Indiana, knew that someone had been there the night before. Her artwork was okay, but a cabinet had been broken into. "I'm sure someone was looking for money," she said. Fortunately, she had made sure to take all cash and receipts back to the motel the evening before, so there was no loss on that end—just a damaged cabinet. More |
