Greetings friends! Long time-o!
I want to share this information with you. It came out in June 2008 and has great information about our artist communities. The executive summary is a great place to start. It features charts and graphs that illustrate our numbers, where we live, what fields we practice and lots more. I encourage you to read it and welcome your feedback and ideas.
