Art & Seek has the first I know of any form of press review of Fierce.

"Art&Seek is
all about community. A service from KERA for North Texas and beyond, Art&Seek
coverage includes radio news reports, special television feature programs
and a new Web site at artandseek.org. The Web site launches Wednesday, May
28, 2008. The first featured Art&Seek
television program is Recapturing Cuba: An Artist’s Journey, a co-production
of KERA-TV, which airs May 28, 2008 at 8:30 p.m. In June, Art&Seek presents
A Conversation with Bill Lively, hosted by Lee Cullum.
At artandseek.org you’ll find
feature stories written by KERA’s
Arts Reporter Jerome Weeks and contributors and related stories and
headlines from National Public Radio. Join the discussion on the Art&Seek
blog, check out insights from our guest bloggers – arts professionals
from around North Texas – and tell us what you think."
Finally... This artist deduction bill (S.548) would give artists the right to deduct the fair market value of their work when donating it to a charity.
We artists are always asked to donate work to charitable causes for fundraising purposes but when our work is auctioned, the buyer gets the benefit of being allowed to deduct their contribution above the market value, whereas the contributing artists and artisans can only deduct the amount of the material costs of creating their work (the cost of paint, canvas, clay, paper...)
This bill is non-partisan and fair. Please click on this link and simply by typing in your zipcode, a letter of support will be sent to your senators and congresspersons.

KERA (FM, TV) "is launching a multimedia, community-based arts initiative in late May that will bring unprecedented attention to the arts in North Texas.
Unified under the name Art&Seek, the project includes the upcoming launch of a new Web site developed as a gathering place for the arts. The site will include an automated calendar where organizations can post their own events as well as original Web content provided by KERA staff and community partners. In addition, the site will be home to the Arts+Culture blog where artists, curators, performers and other arts professionals contribute to discussions about what’s happening in the arts in North Texas. In addition, KERA will provide expanded coverage of the arts on its public radio and television stations through interviews, reviews and special programs."

"The Arts need a strong voice in this years elections.

It's a scam. It's a scam. It's always a scam! If you get emails from South America or Nigeria or Irving, Texas promising to send you a "certified cashier cheque" (or other wording) for your art or your boat or your Sousaphone, pay attention. It is very possibly — if not likely — they are attempting to scam you.
The classic format involves them sending you a check for more than you agreed to charge. You are expected to go to a bank, cash the (probably bogus) check and send the difference back to the thieves who are preying on your desire to sell art.
I (the editor) know it's a scam, because many DallasArtsRevue artists are being targeted.
That said, many people see something on the internet and assume it is for sale, even if no price is mentioned. They flail about attempting to buy it or multiples of it. There are legitimate buyers of art out there, and they may contact you, and you may do business with them. But pay attention. Google the phrasing they use, and you'll find pages warning about scams. I googed "certified cashier cheque" and found More internet scams, Wedding Photographer, Musical Instrument Sales and Fraud Attempts on your Classified Advertisements.
Warning: If it involves you cashing checks, then sending the difference between what you earned and what they sent you, it's a scam. Beware! You will be prosecuted. The Nigerians are out of reach of the short arm of the law.
Helping celebrate EASL's 15th Anniversary, the 2007 EASL Coloring Book has work by 64 area artists ready for colorin , available at Craighead Green, Conduit, David Dike's Dallas gallery and maybe 500X for $10 each.
Sometimes, when EASL's official website is down, they may refer people to the EASL page on DallasArtsRevue at www.DallasArtsRevue.com/EASL.shtml. They never tell me when that happens. Oh, and if you call EASL, don't get excited about them contacting you back quickly. It can take months, but it can be worth it. I know. I wrote about them saving my bacon on their site.
