NEA report Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005.

Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005.
Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005 is the first nationwide look at artists' demographic and employment patterns in the 21st century. Artists in the Workforce analyzes working artist trends, gathering new statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau to provide a comprehensive overview of this workforce segment and its maturation over the past 30 years, along with detailed information on specific artist occupations.

I want to share this information with everyone. It came out in June 2008 and has great information about our communities.

Successful Self Portrait Masks@2008 HOCO Summer Art Camp

This SELF PORTRAIT MASK Project provided great opportunities for 4th and 5th grade students to explore developing concepts, sculpture, design, drawing and painting. Each artist created an artwork that is representative of a part of their own self image. Every student had 15 hours to develop and realize the artwork.
