Top ten reasons why I shaved my head: 10. Humility. 9. Eliminates bed head. 8. Vulnerability. 7. Saves $519.73 annually in haircuts and hair product. 6. Empathy. 5. Triathlon performance___saves 3.14 seconds off my run, 2.718 on my swim and 4.20 on my bike. 4. Vanity. 3. Fitting in with the other inmates. 2. Cleansing. 1. Spiritual Liberation. If you're less likely to shave your head to experience spiritual liberation, then make Art, view Art or buy Art. Start now and view the Art of Mary Blum, Sara Biersteker, Linda Bladen and Helena H__tzl. Thank you… Continue reading… 0 comments

Partially inspired by this blog and the direction it has taken, I've decided to team up with a great friend, art lover and PR Guru, Kaitlyn Siner to create a consortium of experienced art professionals and local business leaders to support "emerging" visual artists, collectively forming The Arts PR Group. We define emerging artists as "any individual, regardless of age or occupation who is fully committed to their craft. Emerging may apply to artists in the early, mid, and late stages of their career, with some evidence of professional achievement… Continue reading… 0 comments

The Milwaukee Art Museum (Packers) and the Carnegie Museum of Art (Steelers) go head-to-head or frame-to-frame this Super Bowl Sunday as they wager (temporary loan) one of their prize impressionist possessions -- Milwaulkee's Caillebotte, Boating on the Yerres v. Carnegie's Renoir, Bathers with Crab. The new tradition, started by last year's Indianapolis "Colts" Museum of Art and the NewOrleans "Saints" Museum of Art, finished with E. John Bullard leaving with Joseph Turner's "The Fifth Plague of Egypt" under his arm. The win marked 37 years for Bullard, Museum Director of NOMA, as he retired that year to be succeeded by first round draft pick, Susan Taylor from Princeton University (no relation to NFL Hall of famer Lawrence Taylor)… Continue reading… 0 comments

Republished, by Paul Shampine (http://theartspr.org) http://paulshampine.wordpress.com/ After reading the most recent post, Kathryn Arnold, blog interviewee forwarded a Newsweek article regarding a significant decline in creativity scoring in the American youth, "Creative Crisis." While citing TV, video games and school curriculum as "culprits" for the new disturbing downward trend, my daughter of twelve years Samantha, brings another possibilityto light. I'm calling it the MacGyver Factor. She feels that as we evolve with technology, we're not forced to use our creativity for problem solving etc. So, we're not exercising the right side of our brain as much as we have in the past. We're our own enemy. Our creative forefathers have made us right-brain lazy… Continue reading… 0 comments

Republished from Paul Shampine's Blog: http://paulshampine.wordpress.com/ Atypical for me, I didn't have a goal or objective when I started this blog. As a result of subscriber feedback and my personal beliefs, I do now. Simply...to celebrate and support those who have chosen to become "artists" and to encourage those who are exploring the occupation... While attending a Tom Kelley seminar, author of The Ten Faces of Innovation, Tom references author/artist Gordon MacKenzie's experience while giving lectures to grade school children (K-6). In short, when Gordon asks "Anybody here an artist?" to a kindergarten class, everyone raises their hands with great animation and enthusiasm… Continue reading… 0 comments
