Artists beware: No respected residency is expressly geared towards promoting one’s career. Desert Dairy sounds like a traditional artist residency, not an away camp for artists seeking fame and fortune. Pay-to-play “residencies” might get an artist’s foot in the door, but it’s probably not the right door. They //might// be effective as a line on a CV, but no more so than a legitimate residency. And if it’s a known scam, that line on the CV could harm more than it helps. If you wanted to run a career camp, just call it that - it’s NOT a residency. Desert Dairy seems to be doing it right.

Gender-fluid Turtles -- who knew.

[@josephkelley8641]

It’s not all about money Immediate successs is hard to come by The art market is very small and it’s lost its essence due to money and let’s face it all the art pieces that have sold for huge $ are not always displayed They’re all stored away in Europe because people can’t afford to insure them, correct? There are only a few key players and galleries in the world Art is a passion it’s not necessarily there to make money that’s a huge bonus if you can obviously but that’s not the essence and I think a lot of people only think about the dollars and then their work becomes very slick & commercial and they suffer turning out the same old work as they don’t take any risk and don’t grow as an artist - nothing evolves - this desert residency looks great and helps to give you the peace and freedom to experience and experiment in a unique environment. Would love to go perhaps one day!

[@elainescott6791]

Well that’s so nice that the Asian artists have the $$$$ not everyone does !

[@elainescott6791]

Host -obviously all residencies don’t operate the same way it appears this one in the desert is a different experience also I think attitude is everything I question your approach it’s probably a little off putting to your guest!
