PRECISION SYNTAX IS RANDOMLY
BENEFICIAL
 For
new subscribers this week: This is an ongoing dialogue between
me and myself. I am certain no one reads this but me. So
bear with me. This is a desperate attempt to save the newsletter.
See, "Rate Card" below for better understanding. Usually
this intro part is far more amusing. ~Mo (a person).
I have changed the name of the newsletter this week. From
here on it shall be known as THE
ARTS NEWSLETTER EXPERIMENT. Why? I am glad you asked.
I feel the importance of syntax lately because there is
a recurring phenomenon of slightly off-target syntax that
is making a LOT of work for me.
When I am loose in the world, people often approach me and
say, "I love your website!" This causes me joy!, yet also some confusion because
I actually have a website, and this isn't it. I have 3 websites actually. They
are websites. They are places you can go to on the internet. One can type in www.moringey.com and see my website about my
artwork. I have others. They don't arrive in your inbox. They are addresses you
can go to. One can also go to www.local.masslive.com (not one of my sites,
but rather a fabulous my-pal-Kelsey-Flynn project, actually, which is a free service
WEBSITE and one you should totally always use to also post your events for the
benefit of her thousands of readers) and view and post art events or read the
news. These are websites. One goes to them. In addition to my website, a
www kind of thing, I produce THIS; a weekly arts EMAIL NEWSLETTER. I call it a newsletter to
differentiate it from a website because it ain't no website. You can't type an
address in to your browser and access it. It lands in your email inbox. It
*looks* like a website because it is formatted by code and it has pretty
pictures and text and links, but in reality, it is no more a website than it is
a disco. It just acts like one (a website, it acts like. not a disco.
no). Why is this a problem for me? Well, I really don't care what you
call it. You can call it, "shit for brains", you can call it "Esmerelda" or you
can call it, "Random beneficial". No skin off my back. I want you to be happy.
BUT, if you tell people, "You
should post your event on this *website*", it causes a lot of explanatory
emailing for me. People assume that a website is a website. They go to my
website where I post ARCHIVES of PAST newsletters for the further enjoyment and
promotion of everyone's events, and they think this is the thing, the shit, the
random beneficial. Anyway-these people who are lead to believe that this
is a *website*, use the submission form (god bless their random beneficial
souls), and then immediately check back to the archives posted on my personal
WEBSITE and when their event is not there, they do a little freakifying and
email me with, "I submitted my events hours ago--WHY is it not there. Please fix
and have it up ASAP". This is problematic because now my newsletter has failed
them in some way and they are distraught, or, in recent cases, pissed. I then
need to explain the difference between the email newsletter, my personal
website, and the archives of past newsletters. After explaining I rarely hear
back. Maybe they are pissed-for-life. I hope not. I hope to not have to delete
the archives of past newsletters from my site BUT, if this keeps happening I
might have to and that will actually save me another hour and a half weekly.
I don't want to disappoint people. I do this because I love people and I
donate my time to help fill a void of events coverage for this reason. I want to
please people. So, if people would, when so helpfully (I LOVE when you do that) spreading the word about
this service, call it an "email newsletter" and not, never, not, a WEBSITE, I
would cry tears of random beneficial joy. I'd also not get freakified emails and
have to explain. Loving you (i.e., doing the newsletter) should mean never
having to say I'm sorry. And the " EXPERIMENT" part of the new name? Well, you do
ask all the right questions, don't you? Random beneficial kisses. This is an
experiment so I am calling it that. Here is the question: if you donate a lot of
time to do something for people for free BUT, require that they do a few
minutes' work on their end to meet you partway, will they do it? Or will they
complain that the meeting partway part (the form) is tedious (it is so easy) and
say that they don't know how to size their images, leaving it for me to do? Will
people complain that it takes a wee bit of work to get this free exposure? Or,
will they be angry that they can't just add me to their press release email list
and attach 10 mg images? Time will tell. The other people you have on your press
release list are in paying jobs. And you still have no guarantee that your event
will make the listings. AND, you do not get to have an image. I am free. You
have a few minutes work to do to get my free time. We all complain about
the lack of arts coverage in the local publications. I am trying to rectify that
with this huge list of readers and this place where you can post events and
images. It totally works, that much we know. I get gazillions of emails from
people who tell me that they use it to plan their arts attendances, or that a
dozen people at their event told them that they heard about it here. But I also
get lots of complaints and pleas to not use the submission form. Folks, it is
just as easy as the form submission at www.local.masslive.com and I see your
events there. How did you manage that? Interestingly, there are readers
on my subscriber list from all over the world. Well, 5 countries and 11 states.
Why are they reading this? A friend in another country said he is reading it
because he likes my writing and because he is observing how the newsletter
evolves and watching to see if it will succeed. He wrote the other day, "I think if you can't get compliance on the form
submission and image size requirements then you should just go for it and have a
complete and total public meltdown in the newsletter. Make it funny, for our
enjoyment. You used to be so funny, now you just beg for everyone to do their
part. Be funny again. Each week provide a hilarious litany of newsletter foibles
and just kill it, for us all to watch. Hell, name names. Exit with aplomb. This
would appeal to our voyeuristic attraction to train wrecks and meltdowns. Have a
GOOD time flaming out. Why stress? You don't know what you got till it's
gone."Ha! I love that idea. I guess I began that process with my
FAQs, at the bottom of the newsletter. 90% of submissions lately are close to
perfect, even though many forget to put the address of the event. I am going to
aim for 100%, cuz that 10% of non-compliance is a few extra hours each week and
I don't have those extra hours to give. You are my test group. Experiments
usually have a test group and a control group of subjects who get the sugar
pill. People are already testing the form submission and sending me fake events
to see what the fuss is about. They will be the control group, the sugarpills.
One day I will publish my findings in some journal of sociology or psychology,
complete with pages of quadratic formulas and theories of particpatibility and
mutual considerationality, and, the email complaints. In the meantime, this is
an experiment. Let's try to make it succeed. If we can't, I promise a very
public and hilarious flameout, and then it will be gone. Gone to the junkyard of
failed experiments. Random beneficial love for all. The future is in your
hands. |

THE ARTISAN GALLERY IS PROUD TO
PRESENT THE NEW CERAMIC WORK OF STEPHANIE CRAIG AND TODD LEECH.
May 28-July 8, 2007
 TRANSFORMATIONS: The Compelling Ceramic
Art of Stephanie Craig and Todd Leech
05/28/07 - 07/08/07
Time: Mon-Wed 10-6
Stephanie and Todd bring everything to their work.
They explore, and probe, and sift through the mountain
of evidence that we are but a small part of the natural
world. They acknowledge we are only here for a limited
duration. They encounter and respond to the natural world
on a very personal level. Memories, growth, and disintegration
are transformed by the alchemy of intellect, emotion and
technical virtuosity into works of compelling beauty.
If the success of a work of art can lie in its ability
to arrest the internal chatter of the viewer then this
work succeeds. If great art achieves a beautiful complexity
and allows for a peaceful contemplation of the larger
world - then this group of works is a success on every
level.

STUDENTS
05/05/2007 - 06/01/2007
Artists Reception Sat. May 5, 4-7PM
Art Exchange: The Artist as Teacher and Student.
Internationally exhibited artist, Lyn Horan showcases her latest work along
with work from her adult students in an attempt to examine the creative
relationship between the artist/teacher and her students.
"The art of teaching is part of assisting discovery." This quote
from Pulitzer Prize winning Poet, Mark Van Doren, sums up Artist Lyn Horan's
teaching philosophy. While Horan feels that teaching pictorial skills, use of
materials, and knowledge of art history is important, helping her students find
the courage to hone their observations and individual self-expression is a
greater part of the equation. "My job as a teacher is not to create artists who
paint just like me, but to help them discover how to best create something that
is genuine to them."
With works from Lisa Colt, Helen Daniels,
Terry Faivre, Marilyn Marquez, Joanne O'Leary, Keri Oleson, Maryann Phoenix,
Marge Tauer, and of course LYN

ONLINE FOR ART WALK EASTHAMPTON
Art Walk Easthampton, a monthly, self-guided
walking tour of arts and culture, has added a proposal page to its website where
visual, music and performance artists can outline what they would like to show
or perform if given the opportunity.
All the locations that participate
in Art Walk Easthampton can view the submissions for possible inclusion in an
upcoming event. The talent describes the work, provides images, identifies the
types of venues they would like to be in, the dates they are available and
provides contact information. If there's a match between the submission and the
venue's interest, the venue contacts the talent directly to handle booking
arrangements.
The proposal form is available at www.ArtWalkEasthampton.org and is open to all local and
regional artists.

ONGOING
An offer
from Joe Blumenthal of Downtown Sounds who generously would like to have artists
display their work there. (Downtown Sounds, 21 Pleasant St., Northampton, next
to the Pleasant St. Theater)
The window is quite large, and has three
panels, each one about 6' X 6', and is about 24" deep. It is exposed to intense
sunlight in the morning; the heat of the sun plus the narrowness of the window
make it inappropriate to display most musical instruments.
However, the
sunlight doesn't hurt most artwork since it's only exposed for a month to six
weeks. I normally pay $150 to the artist who installs the window, and work out a
consignment agreement for the store to take a percentage of the price if the art
is for sale and we manage to sell some of it.
The artwork can be
freestanding, lean against a wall at the back of the window that's about three
feet high, or (if it's not heavy) be hung from the ceiling.
It's great when
the art can have a musical theme, but it's not necessary. Because of its highly
visible commercial location, the work should have a mainstream appeal and not
have themes which could be offensive. Small pieces don't work well since the
window is so large.
If one of your readers is interested in displaying
in this context, please have them contact me via email:
musician@downtownsounds.com, or via phone at 413- 586-0998.

FREE CREDIT COUNSELING FOR LOCAL
ENTREPRENEURS
Valley CDC Expands Business Services to Include Credit
Counseling Northampton, MA,
March 23, 2007: Valley Community
Development Corporation (Valley CDC), a community-based non-profit organization,
is now offering personal credit counseling. This free one-on-one counseling is
available to people who want to open a small business in Valley CDC's service
area - Easthampton, Northampton, Hadley & Amherst. Current small business
owners with 20 or fewer employees are also eligible. There are no income
restrictions. This free credit counseling is available through June of 2007 via
a grant from the Massachusetts Office of Business and Technology.
According to David Plaut, Small Business Credit Counselor for Valley CDC,
"We know that credit scores play a very significant role when applying for a
business loan. We want our clients to secure financing, so we set them up for
success. Credit reports and credit scoring can be confusing. We can decipher
that information and help people boost their scores."
Valley CDC has been helping entrepreneurs start new enterprises and
expand existing small businesses for more than 18 years. Since 2003, Valley CDC
has counseled more than 250 individuals and businesses, and helped them acquire
more than $470,000 in funding from conventional banks and community loan funds.
Valley CDC's clients include companies in many diverse businesses, including
restaurants, manufacturers, beauty salons, spas, artists and artisans, clothing
designers, and retailers.
According to Joanne Campbell, Executive Director of Valley CDC, "We are
very excited to be able to expand our small business technical services to
include credit counseling. Our current grant will fund this service until June
30, 2007, so we hope that local entrepreneurs act on this opportunity quickly.
We are also hopeful that the legislature will recognize the economic benefits
that all Massachusetts communities gain from their investment in local
entrepreneurs and small businesses, and continue to fund the program beyond that
date."
For more information about credit counseling, please contact David Plaut,
Small Business Credit Counselor at 413-586-5855 x16 or dp@valleycdc.com.
