The following very eloquent statement from Richard Kamins caught my attention. I don’t have much to add, it was just so well said, that I wanted to do my share to see that it is read by as many people as possible.
Richard Kamins | See! Hear!: Mr. Miscellany:
“One thing to keep in mind as the New Year arrives, the creative arts have a tough time surviving without support. That does not mean one has to buy every CD or DVD or book that’s released but really the creative arts needs an audience. … Musicians, poets, performers, as well as directors, authors and set designers need feedback (and not just good or bad reviews in the papers or on blogs.) Applause is important, box office earnings help a lot, yet there’s nothing like stepping out on stage and seeing people in the seats.”
