[I looked at your site, and while it seems well-meaning, it's extremely
vague. For instance, nowhere do you say how young one must be to be
considered a "young artist" Is there a maximum age? A minimum?
It's also very short on specifics about what's actually happening in the
seminars themselves. No particular cities or even countries are mentioned,
nor are any actual artists. There's no art on the site (except the pretty
but anonymous pictures of sunsets) or any idea what sort of aesthetics are
favored (if any). If you are, as you say, promoting art, why aren't you
using any of your webspace to do it? People are encouraged to start having
these seminars - and arrange exhibitions- in their home cities and
countries, but no examples are given of what may be expected to occur, who
has participated (either as sponsor or artist), or what wonderful things
happened with the 25 young artists you mention as having benefitted from
this so far (since the year 2000). Perhaps if you put the contents of your
(3 separate) newsletters online, some of these concerns might be addressed.
I think your funding would be better spent on printing some images of
participating artists' work and distributing them as postcard packets,
instead of on producing coffee mugs, mousepads, tee-shirts, etc. emblazoned
with your (drab) logo. Why would anybody want a "collectable" (sic)
tee-shirt featuring an organization nobody's ever heard of? And while it's
nice that you've listed a lot of international museums under "resources", if
young artists could get their work into any of them, they could teach their
own seminars.
So far, this looks like a successful grant proposal, not a viable plan for
an organization. If someone really wants to gather a bunch of young artists
together and exhibit their work locally, what do they need you for? Just to
collect their dues? I don't mean to seem like I'm disparaging your idea, but
you have to offer something a little more concrete - a chance to meet
foreign artists (who?) exhibit abroad (where?) get help with real issues
artists face (what?), be informed about upcoming events and exhibitions they
could apply to (when?), or even just to discuss the contemporary art world
and what an artist must do to fit into it (why?). Young artists need all
this, but most are even less inclined to exchange their hard-earned cash for
vague promises than I am...]

[Thanks for rooting up that link, Chris. The "start your own investment
bank" for the same price sure sounds more lucrative, if you're going to fall
for a scam... I take it back about how they sounded "well-meaning". ]
