SAN ANTONIO
City helping artists paint financials onto their pallets
San Antonio Business Journal (06/13/08)
Donna J. Tuttle
"A sculptor. A filmmaker. A composer. All three are nationally renowned, in the midst of producing and creating new art ... and live and work right here in San Antonio. Like many local artists, Donna Dobberfuhl, Ya' Ke Smith and Michael Patrick Twomey are better known outside of Texas boundaries for their award-winning creations. And like many small-business owners, these three are so busy sculpting, filming and composing that there's little time for strategic business planning and networking with other local artists. They live in that all-consuming art bubble."
TEXAS
We're number 20! And number one in Texas
Austin American Statesman (06/12/08)
Jeanne Claire van Ryzin
"According to "Artists in the Workforce: 1990-2005" a 150-page new report released today the recently released from the National Endowment for the Arts, Austin ranks number 20 out of the top 50 metropolitan areas nationally when it comes to percentage of the local workforce that are artists."
NATIONAL
Regional theater has good showing at Tony Awards
The Kansas City Star (06/16/08)
Robert Trussell
"It was a great night for regional theater at the 2008 Tony Awards, the annual extravaganza designed to celebrate the art and promote the business of Broadway."
INTERNATIONAL
Foul! Vienna opera blames Euro 2008 for poor attendance
CBC News (06/17/08)
"Soccer games - namely Euro 2008 matches - are getting in the way of opera performances, the Vienna State Opera charged on Tuesday. The venerable opera house saw its attendance numbers drop to the season's lowest level on Monday, the same day Austria took on Germany in the city's Ernst Happel stadium, the Staatsoper said in a statement."

Since the early 1980s, Barilleaux has organized numerous exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and alternative media; written, edited, and designed related publications; taught, lectured, and consulted; and been active in many facets of museum administration and the visual arts.
