RoundTable 360° Sept 2024 – Artistic Intent – Is it more important audiences get our meaning or we pay our bills?

The Sept 2024 RoundTable 360° discussed Artistic Intent and focused on the challenge of getting your message across – assuming your work has a message – in a market-driven economy.

I took a class with Isaac Bashevis Singer long ago. A student approached him during a break and asked if his goal was to entertain or educate his audience.

“To entertain. I can’t educate them if I don’t entertain them first.”

 
His response has stayed with me ever since. “To entertain. I can’t educate them if I don’t entertain them first.

This has special meaning to me as my work always carries some kind of message, even if it’s “Be sure to turn the lights off when you leave.”

Budda-boom.

Artistic Intent with Ken Weene, Donna Huston Murray, Amy Olmeda, Rick DeRobertis, Sarah Bowden, Sabine Rossbach, Liz Tuckwell, and Mark O’Brien.
