Other project related things

Another thing I was thinking of, in relation to the first year or so, is the possibility of doing visiting artist gigs in exchange for either money (the honorarium would not be much) or perhaps better, to be able to stay for a week or so and work on a short term project (something we can't do with what we would have at the time, say offset litho or whatever.) I think I have a decent number of contacts that could be put to use for this, if it's later down the road we could work in an exhibition too.

So, a visit would entail some sort of slide talk, or showing work and talking about the project, optionally individual crits with upper level students, maybe a reception or something. Could be nice, as the project goes on, to take a pause and organize what we're doing, while also putting out the option to students of not going the job-whore route. Places off the top of my head i know somebody at:

Drexel
Uarts (philly)
Muhlenberg (allentown- amze)
OWU (we could be due for an allumni show, eh?)
IU
Univ of south carolina
columbia college (chicago)
mary baldwin college
herron (indianapolis)
univ of kyoto (looongshot)
univ of toledo
highpoint press (minneapolis)
univ of texas (san marco)

other options also include: i pretty much have a standing invitation to go back to IU and work if needed, so again, if we really need to bust something out, especially in screen print, it would be worth it on a long weekend to just go up there, no strings attached as far as doing the visiting artist thing. another option is the prof from columbia- her family lives out in the country in indiana, she has a whole papermaking setup there and has invited me to come whenever. i will show you some of the stuff i did while there, there are some great possibilities with that too. they would also be cool to visit, they make their own soap, beer, wine, have a garden they can food from, etc. but not hippies.
