In this issue: A number of recent reports, using quite different methodologies and with different timing, have examined the effects of the recession on the cultural sector in Canada and elsewhere. The main consensus of these reports appears to be that endowments, foundations and business-related funding sources are probably the hardest hit by the recession.

Artist of the Month Giveaway Winners!!!
I’m sure you’ve all been holding your breath in eager anticipation…so here we go:
The artist of the day who will be getting a little Carole Epp piece in the mail is Laura B. Cooper.
Tracey Broome will also be receiving a cup thanks to her comment regarding Jim Gottuso’s work. Congrats to both. In order to receive your prizes you’ll have to email me at [email protected] with your mailing address and then I’ll pop them in the mail for you.
Again many, many thanks to everyone that participated. This blog is what it is thanks to it’s readers.
On a separate, yet interestingly related note – in regards to how small the world really is – a while back I received a lovely email from someone who had purchased some of my work. Seems that they had also purchased some of Laura B Cooper’s work as well (what good taste indeed!) They were kind enough to forward me the following images of our works in their home, which is always so lovely to see. I’m sure you can agree with me that there is no greater joy in making art then knowing that what you have made from your heart and mind is cherished by another. These images made my day.
