Caroll Michels - 6th edition of HOW TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER AS AN ARTIST: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul
"Somewhere between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, art dealers in New York reinvented themselves and changed the title of their occupation to 'gallerist'," writes Caroll Michels in the 6th edition of HOW TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER AS AN ARTIST: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul, published in 2009 by Henry Holt and Company. "The new title arrived with a set of rules regarding who can use the title and who cannot . . . Although the new title is pretentious and a less-than-subtle embellishment of the occupation of 'sales person,' it can also be interpreted that the 'ist' at the end of 'galler-ist' symbolically represents yet another encroachment into an 'art-ists's' territory. It can be compared to the 50 percent sales commissions art dealers receive, an implication that they are major contributors to the creation of artwork!"

The Feminist Art Project and the Institute for Women and Art would like to invite College Art Association members to submit proposals for panel, poster and open forum sessions for the CAA Conference 2011 in New York City. We encourage you to propose sessions that address the theme of: Feminism, Diversity and Globalism. That theme is one of several selected by CAA for their Centennial celebration . It was originally proposed by a coalition of groups including ArtTable, The Feminist Art Project, and Women's Caucus for Art , along with several CAA committees. The Feminist Art Project will be presenting TFAP@CAA, an extraordinary day of feminist art panels and performances on Saturday, February 12 organized by Johanna Burton and Julia Bryan-Wilson.
