Subject: Artists and the Recession Survey Results
Dear Alyssa,
Thank you so much for your participation in the Artists and the Economic Recession Survey, commissioned by Leveraging Investments in Creativity, in collaboration with Helicon Collaborative and Princeton Survey Research Associates International.
As promised, here are the preliminary survey findings:http://www.lincnet.net/sites/all/files/Selected%20Findings%20Artists%20and%20the%20Recession%20Survey%202009.pdf
Highlights of the data include:
Two-thirds of artists hold at least one job in addition to making art.
Artists’ incomes are relatively low (two-thirds made less than $40,000 in 2008), and half (51%) reported a decrease in their art-related income from 2008 to 2009.
Forty percent of artists do not have adequate health insurance and more than 50% are worried about losing what they do have.
Despite the challenges, artists are optimistic about the future—89% think artists have a special role in helping strengthen communities in these times, and 75% believe this is an inspiring time to be an artist.
Some opportunities have emerged as a result of the recession—40% report they have been able to spend more time on their artwork, and one-third have seized the opportunity to experiment and collaborate more.
While direct financial support would be most helpful to artists, technical assistance, networking opportunities, and supplies are also high on the list.
A full report will be available on our website (www.lincnet.net) in early Spring 2010.
Thank you for your interest and participation,

and is this suppose to be earth shattering news? Or even shocking depressing outrage?
Actually this survey is a great piece of ironical performance art. Getting paid good money to ask those obvious questions! That is high art indeed! And I love the surreal name, Leveraging Investments in Creativity. Like how many joints did it take to come up with that new speak name, and how many more joints to keep a straight face saying it.
Btw, if you see Leveraging Investments in Creativity drive up, RUN!

thanks for the shout out!
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful time I had playing and hanging out at
the Shaman’s Den! You all were so nice and accomodating.
A real warm sense of frendship and brotherhood.
Thanks for one of the highlights of my great west coast adventure.
Lets not make it another ten years!
Will see you soon buddy. Merry Christmas to you and all of the Luver staff!
cheers!
Jhon

hey, Steve! I have missed you! We have booked the Temescal performance series for the whole next year! The
dates are up at http://www.eroplay.com/events.html. The next is Friday December eighteenth . Love to have you play/jam! We are having great musicians showing up!
Can +DOG+ do The Shaman’s den on January seventeen? That is our first opening!
Hey, if +DOG+ has any Bay area gigs, I might be available to play!
Btw, my Sunday guest was a great guitarist Jhon Thumb. I asked him to be a guest ten years ago after we both played at THE WEFEST in North Carolina. Apparently he kept
my email invitation in his in-box for all of these years so that when he moved out here from New Jersey, he contacted me about being on my]
show. Wild! Anyway, he wants to get link up with musicians out here… So…

ERIKA:
During the show Frank and Linda talked about the changes in policies that have happened with BTV and how many of Frank’s shows are no longer on the air. They now have policies about how a host cannot have more than one show on in a day There were a couple of callers who watched Frank’s shows on BTV and really missed having them on and one even called BTV during the show to express how he felt about Frank not having his shows on anymore. There was a guy from England who called and wanted to know if Frank could come and play there and another person who wanted to know if people can study individually with Frank so Linda talked about that and how Frank had just done a three hour private performance with someone. There were a couple of callers who listened to luver and said how amazing it was with all of the variety of music that plays and wanted to know how bands can send their music to luver.
There was a woman who called in who said it was amazing hearing about all that Frank does and how does he do it all the things that he does. Frank and Linda said that it was the tribal body, living as one body. There was a woman who called in who wanted to know more about living tribally and had Frank written a book about how people can get along when they live together. Linda talked about how Frank had done relationship counseling for years and the thing he discovered is that most people have the same problems, they want to think that their problems are unique but everyone is really the same. One caller wanted to know what a typical day in the life of Frank, Linda and Mikee was, Frank starting his day in bed with a shot of espresso and getting an update of the days events so far, all the delicious food they eat, and desserts, work time, the movies they watch, living beyond a 24 hour day. A guy called in and wanted to know why we are here, what is it all about and Frank said to be together, adapt together, to change together, to play together, to love together. It was an amazing show full of music, Frank singing holiday songs, poems, and a steady stream of callers who called in who were loving the show and wanted to know more about life, love, living together and all the amazing things that Frank’s tribal body does.

Frank Moore

what a sad loss, and she’ll be well remembered. Cats become like their owners when
close, Jessica was just like me!!!! A little ‘odd’ Fast as lightning and really human. Was she the closest to you, Frank? We humans aren’t so much smarter. We manufacture in our own bodies, no vit C, whereas cats make a lot of mg. of vitamin C that helps much to keep them alive. I will celebrate her memory.
I needed/wanted a cat when Jessica left though who could replace her, but when
Isobel, who helped me in ‘deciding what vegetarian raw meat (ugh! Jessica said)
she should eat like Isobel.’ but when she saw I took it so hard, she understandably said, “No,’ you should not get another cat, that was too hard on you.
Only Alexi, with me all the way, with the doctor both days wih me (I left her overnight)
got me through it. Jessica when the doctor botched the first shot, turned
around and bit him and the doctor smiled and said “a fighter to the last!!!!!!
love, Jesse

“…He’s wonderful and hilarious and knows exactly what it’s all about and has earned my undying respect. What he’s doing is impossible, and he knows it. That’s good art….” L.A. Weekly
“Merging improv, erotica, entertainment, religion and ritual, Frank Moore – self-styled shaman, world-renowned disabled performance artist, and 2008 presidential candidate ….” – East Bay Express
Resisting “the easy and superficial descriptions…, Moore’s work challenges the consensus view more strongly in ways less acceptable than…angry tirades and bitter attacks on consumer culture.” Chicago New City
“If performance art has a radical edge, it has to be Frank Moore.” Cleveland Edition
“Transformative…” Moore “is thwarting nature in an astonishing manner, and is fusing art, ritual and religion in ways the Eurocentric world has only dim memories of. Espousing a kind of paganism without bite and aggression, Frank Moore is indeed worth watching.” High Performance Magazine
“Surely wonderful and mind-goosing experience.” L.A. Reader
