The Museum of Fine Arts does work together under the partnership program

Look up Museum of Fine Arts on the internet, and you will find a wide selection of them located throughout the United States and Canada. While each is an independently operated non-profit organization, they all recognize the important of preserving art and the importance of individuals having the opportunity to see art from various cultures.

The Museum of Fine Arts does work together under the partnership program. There are over 500 traveling exhibitions that go from one museum to another. They offer a loan program of DVD’s, books, movies and other resources. Artist workshops are offered, giving adults and children the opportunity to learn from professional artists. Educational workshops are offered to promote the arts. Lectures are given by individuals who share their knowledge of the arts and particular exhibits.

The most well known is the museum in Boston, Massachusetts. It has a unique selection of antique and modern pieces of art of display. The museum in Houston Texas is known for the Wild West display. It chronicles the changes to the West from 1890 to 1950. Overall, the museum offers a collection of 53,000 works. These works represent the civilizations of Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and Africa.

In Santa Fe, New Mexico the Museum of Fine Arts is known for its outreach to youth and education. Children sixteen years old and younger are admitted free of charge. In San Diego, the Fine Arts Museum is the city’s largest public arts institution. In Montreal, Canada, Girodet, Romantic Rebel, will be presented beginning October 12 of 2006. The piece was done by Anne-Louis Girodet. He was a very influential painter from France. She is considered a pillar of Romanticisms early period. This is the first time there has ever been an exhibition of his work in North America.

Regardless of which Museum of Fine Arts you visit, you will view numerous pieces of art, cultural displays, have the opportunity to attend workshops, and learn about new cultures. If you have not been to one of the museums, you are definitely missing out. It is important for all of us to be exposed to the arts. I find it very heart warming that all the Museums of Fine Arts have family oriented programs and educational programs for children in partnership with the area schools.

Does anyone know how to make it as a painter in Nashville, Tn compared to NY, LA or Texas?

Hi, does anyone know how to make it as an artist in Nashville, Tn? My art is dark erotic fantasy. Here is my site www.oliart.org. Should I get my own agent? I have been in a few shows here. Is it better for me to go someplace else like NY or LA? Does anyone know what San Antonio, TX is like for this stuff? Here is a link to my Myspace that has more paintings. Please only respond with serious and mature answers! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=391111367

ok ... your work has an unevenness to it that needs to be resolved. It is by no means weak or unmarketable, but it can be made more authoritative, more intellectually dense. San Antonio is a tourist market.Your stuff does not seem like it would be tucked under the arm of a sweaty tourist in a Mexican hat Down by the River Walk in San Antonio. You would be more marketable in a collectors market. Collectors being those who choose work based on its own merits and complexities and how it fits and compliments their other works, but not as a memento of a trip or a favorite place. You need to either "rough-up" your technique so the method appears to support the message or refine your technique so you draw the viewer in to your, shall we say, outre subtext. Ultimately there is a market for anything given time and tenacity. Look at galleries websites everywhere and look for work that seems to Resonate with the same tone as yours. Ask them for their preferred method of receiving new artists' work for consideration and then send it in exactly the format they prefer. INCLUDE RETURN POSTAGE if you send anything. I still have a small, sad scar from failing to do that once! LOL If someone Who is an agent wants to be your agent great! On the other hand, if someone wants to be an agent and wants to use you to figure out how to be one ... RUN!! The best way to look like a total loser is to be represented by one! The market is brutal. It is difficult, as I suppose you already know. However, when you're an artist what do you have choice, n'est pas? Time and tenacity as I said. You will find your market if you are realistic about coupling your work with the kind of minds you're seeking. . Good Luck! Lemme know if I can offer anything else.
