For those of us who live immersed in the digital world, which certainly includes you as an Absolute Arts blog reader, it is most likely nearly incomprehensible how a modern day artist, or businessperson of any sort, could not be partially, if not fully, connected in the social marketing world. Truly, these days most would think how can anyone serious about getting ahead not be wholly represented on “The Social Marketing Grid” with a Facebook page, Twitter and Linkedin accounts et cetera

While I should be focused on writing the paper I am presenting at the Arts in Society conference in Venice in exactly two weeks, I am continually side-tracked by what is becoming an all consuming concern of how does a relatively new small gallery survive in the new economy? I have watched three other galleries close in my east side neighbourhood over the past few months: Ninette Gyorody’s Studio Nine Gallery on Queen St East, Svava Juliusson’s LIST Gallery on the Danforth, and a gallery on Pape at Danforth

Jump to the full entry & travel map New York City, New York, United States Meet the Cast: Dave: Planner, part-time navigator, food critic, and once again trip blogger. Not sure how I keep getting stuck with this job. Probably because of my superior memory skills and lack of anything better to do with my time (I also type at a moderately fast speed of 73 words/minute). My favorite animal is the leopard (even though we didn’t see one) because they are smart, fast, and don’t like to be bothered by humans. However, I should not be held accountable for making dinner reservations. Amy: “Photo Documenter” of the trip as well as “champion navigator of the early afternoon drive from cape point to hout’s bay.” Amy enjoys shopping, spa treatments, and petting cheetahs. Her favorite animal is the hippo because no other animal hunts them and they get to hang out by the pool all day. However listening is not her strong suit
