I was really fortunate to have people who gave the time to share with me their advice and their methods…and I feel like the least I can do is give that back to other people. So many ways you can make a buck and I don’t really care about that at this point in my life. It’s much more about being able to give people a different view of their own career – a longer view of their own career – and just have the patience to work it through and give them advice and help.
The above quote is an excerpt from a great interview with Stan Klein of Firecat Projects about his vision for the space, future plans and his views on the necessity of artists taking control of their careers by becoming more entrepreneurial.
Listen to the full interview here. Yes, I know it’s an hour long, but it’s worth every minute!
And of course, don’t forget to check out the website for Firecat Projects. They have some cool upcoming shows!
I create burned wood engravings that combine my love of the textures and patterns found in nature with a deep interest in the unconscious world of dreams, symbols and mythic folklore.
