By: Dave Smith, Audio Alchemy A good Audio Mix can take a project to another level - a bad one can ruin it. Ever notice how things sound different in a gymnasium than in a closet? - Or in a basement, bathroom or auditorium? Likewise, there are big differences between listening to something on ear-buds, a car stereo, television, or in a movie theater. Every physical space and every speaker affects the way things sound. A properly balanced mix will sound consistently good in any environment and on any listening device. Achieving a well-balanced mix is no easy task and near impossible when working in a space that isn’t properly tuned. It’s natural for an audio engineer to adjust things to make them sound as good as possible. But, if they’re making adjustments to compensate for shortcomings in the room or the speakers they’re mixing on - they could actually be doing more harm than good. For example - when working in a room that soun ... More

Montgomery, New York - What are your children going to do this summer? Most of our children will spend the summer in child care, watching t.v. or playing video games. Wouldn’t you prefer your children to spend the summer digging in the dirt, playing in the sunshine, learning to cook and prepare healthy meals, and enjoying some fellowship with other children? What if you could do this for free, or about the same cost as childcare? Thanks to the generosity of our local community, through the success of our recent 100/$100 fundraiser, the Wallkill River School is able to offer free and low-cost gardening and cooking classes for local youth. The Farm Camp is offered by local farmer Korey Findley who will teach basics of gardening, easy recipes for children using fresh seasonal produce, and take home a planter garden of salad greens, and a recipe book to share with their families. The Farm Camp is geared toward school children ages 5-15, featuring a farmer working with the children to des ... More

Investing in What You Love (feb 26 @ 2:35 PM)

By Ash Rajan Whether ardent collectors are pursuing a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild, a signed first edition by F. Scott Fitzgerald or antique Shaker furniture, many have experienced the thrill of the hunt and the rush of ownership that, frankly, shares of a mutual fund just can’t provide. Yet a fresh focus on the financial dimension has crept into discussions of such "passion investments" over the past two years. Many owners of objets d’art have increasingly become "investor-collectors," strategically seeking items that may provide long-term returns along with short-term pleasure, according to the 2010 Capgemini and Merrill Lynch World Wealth Report. With the right approach and the help of your financial advisor, you can both find the liquidity to fund aesthetic interests and take into account the inherent risk of holding collectibles as bona fide investments. The first thing to acknowledge is that the markets for artwork, rare wine, vintage automobiles and ... More

Reinventing Education To Teach Creativity And Entrepreneurship (may 14 @ 10:06 AM)

Posted By: Dawn Ansbro

Written by: Jennifer Medbery We don’t need to memorize things any more, but we still need teachers to guide our students toward learning the best ways to problem solve. The question is: How do you measure that? As you read this, students all over the country are sitting for state standardized exams. Schools spend up to 40% of the year on test prep, so that, shall we say, no child is left behind. Schools’ futures and funding depend on the number of students who fall into performance bands like “Advanced," “Proficient,” and “Approaching Basic” based on bubble sheets and number two pencils. |

Let’s face it, if you want to sell your art and make money, you must realize this simple truth…
Art is a business.
Sure, it isn’t romantic. And most artists have that romanticized idea of just creating all day and having freedom to do what you want, when you want. It’s all about “me”. Well, you could go that route. But here is another truth:
Art is a business.

Posted By: Dawn Ansbro

Research offers industry-specific, regional, and demographic data on the 2.1 million artists working in the U.S. For immediate release from the NEA
October 28, 2011 There are 2.1 million artists in the United States workforce, and a large portion of them -- designers -- contribute to industries whose products Americans use every day, according to new research from the National Endowment for the Arts. Artists and Arts Workers in the United States offers the first combined analysis of artists and industries, state and metro employment rates, and new demographic information such as age, education levels, income, ethnicity, and other social characteristics. This latest report builds on earlier NEA research -- Artists in the Workforce: 1990 - 2005 -- which identified key traits that differentiated artists from other U.S. workers. That report found artists to be entrepreneurial (more likel ... More
