Thank you for blogging about FEAST. As someone who works with local artists and is an art collector, I am very pleased to see Minneapolis as the second site for this type of patronage to artists. I certainly plan to attend the FEAST on Saturday.
Minnesotans may be surprised to know that despite the tough economy, some local art patrons are quietly providing private financial support to outstanding local artists. Their generosity and enthusiasm for art is amazing. Patrick Kemal Pryor is one talented and very productive Minnesota artist with whom I work. He has received support from patrons for several of his projects, including a three-month sabbatical in New Zealand to reassess where his art has been and where it is going. I would be interested in hearing about other such examples.
