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!

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…

More about Frank Moore!
Frank Moore started his life in art by literally using his head to paint when he was in high school in 1963. Because Moore has cerebral palsy, he paints with a brush on a helmet. His big, bright oils of nudes and superheros have been exhibited around the U.S. and Canada. In recent years Moore has created digital art.
But visual art has been only one aspect of the creative activity of Moore who first came to be known in the 70’s as the creator of the popular cabaret show, The Outrageous Beauty Revue. In the 80’s he became one of the U.S.’s foremost performance artists. In 1992 he was voted Best Performance Artist by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. In the early 90’s he was targeted by Senator Jesse Helms. In 1991 Frank Moore played the role of publisher and editor of the acclaimed underground zine, The Cherotic r(E)volutionary…until he started the web “radio” station http://www.luver.com in 1999. LUVER has become a powerful channel for the alternative cultures. For the last 10 years Moore has been an every night late night fixture on B-TV, Berkeley’s public access cable channel. He also tours both the U.S. and Canada, often backed up by his band, the chEROTIC all-stars. Award-winning film-maker and well-published poet/critic round out his field of activity. But he failed in his bid to become U.S. President in 2008. WHAT A LOSER!

Frank Moore
ah yes, the second best bad band in history! THE VELVET UNDERGROUND paled to THE SUPERHEROES of THE OUTRAGEOUS BEAUTY REVUE!
