Support the Arts by supporting the Artist!

Dear friends and family of C4 Atlanta,

We have come a long way in the past few months and wouldn’t have been able to do it without your collective advice, support and love.

We are about to begin the next stage in our work, and we are emailing to ask for your help in writing the next chapter of our story by making a donation to support our first major public project.

On October 23rd, we will be offering our very first seminar called ‘Entrepreneurship in the Arts’ which will be taught by entrepreneur/artist Kamal Sinclair. This is the very first of our professional development programming for Artists, and we are extremely excited for all the sustainable projects this seminar will help participating artists launch! For an example of the kinds of stories that have come out of this seminar in the past, check out Tori Tinsley’s story on the C4 Atlanta blog.

We are asking for your donation in order to pay for things like liability insurance, course materials, space, etc. Many of these are one time start-up costs that once paid for will enable us to offer more affordable professional development to artists in the Atlanta region throughout 2011.

You can donate easily via the paypal widget on our the C4 Atlanta website located here: http://blog.c4atlanta.org/entrepreneurship-in-the-arts/fundraising/

A number of the artists participating in ‘Entrepreneurship in the Arts’ are raising funds in order to pay for the cost of tuition. Over the next week we will be profiling them on our blog, and you can help support their individual efforts by donating through our Artist Gallery: http://blog.c4atlanta.org/artist-gallery/

We will be adding more artists over the next week, so keep coming back to find out more about the lives and careers your donation will help transform.

Thanks for your continued support, and we hope to share the successes of these artists with all of you soon!
The C4 Atlanta Action Team, Joe, Jessyca, and Lyre

Is Self-Improvement Science or Myth?

References a recent New York Times article about research that debunks traditional theories surrounding study habits and learning. Great tie into business “best practices.”

Crisis of Creativity in American Business

“In a Newsweek cover story last month, Bronson and his co-author Merryman write about the crisis of creativity now affecting the American educational system. According to Bronson, the results of creativity tests for American kids has been falling since 1990 — a particularly worrying statistic for American business given that these test scores have been rising over the past twenty years in most other industrialized countries around the world.”
