ARTISTS DEFINITELY NOT RECESSION PROOF

More than 5,000 American working artists … you know, the ones who bring creativity to light in the world for all of us but don’t get paid at Goldman Sachs levels?… participated in a study conducted by a group called Leveraging Investments in Creativity.  The study found that over half of those in the study made less money in 2009 than they did in 2008  -   before the recession.  I would guess this is no surprise to anyone.  Perhaps the good thing about the study is that it created fresh economic data regarding the livelihoods of artists.  www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/arts/design/24study.html
