It’ll have to be a mini round up this week as I’m happily stuck in the studio and can’t tear myself away for long. I’m neglecting everything and everyone and though it feels selfish on some level – I have a family to care for and the laundry is piling up – I'm really not feeling that bad. I have found some intermittent solace in the discussion over at Anonymous Female Artist. Most artist's have something else that pulls them away from their production- a job, lover, family. If you're an artist, how do you make time for the studio? What keeps you out?

Here are a couple of tidbits to chew on:

Are you interested in moving to New York and swapping your home for a rent controlled apartment near Columbia for $800 a month? If so, you might want to contact the person who posted this ad on craigslist.

And another bit up for discussion: approaching galleries. Junc Gallery in LA invited Port’s own Jennifer Armbrust to weigh in on the best tactics for getting representation as discussed on their blog. Take a gander then come back here and let us know how you go about that task, if you’re an artist. If you’re a gallerist, let us know how you go about your selection process.
