Plowhaus adopts new member volunteer strategy

Posted by rick Fri, 05 May 2006 12:31:00 GMT

I'm not sure which is more priceless -- the implication that artists' volunteer labor is akin to that of "illegal immigrants", the apparent going rate for hourly "illegal" work, or just the whole freakin' email to all members message.

Check it out: [Plowhaus-members] another weekend of work

(The Plowhaus is a local co-op gallery that I've actually shown work at -- it's a good idea with some good projects, but also characterized by ongoing strife and ego conflicts, this being but the latest example.)
