Artists in residence are quite popular. I just learned there is one in a library nearby. I don't really get this popular trends. The person have time in the library but she also goes around in sme group and makes writing project with them. I feel artsy but I don't want to be in residence. It sound a little bit show off. I guess it is all about getting known. Maybe I am old school.
I thought it was only limited to the parliment, for example. There is a poet in the Canadian parliement. From what I heard of it, that person in residence can write poems for events. I am not sure if they can write on people. I know that the person receive requests.. I don't think I could do that on every requests. I just hope they upgraded that residence or I haven't seen every thing done by the poet in residence.
I feel less ignorant but I think it is not for every artists. I don't feel at ease to look at others art and comment on it. My craft have to come first because I feel already limited in my free time for creating. I just wonder if it pays well. I wouldn't sell off easily. I am curious. Does it depends on the artists portfolio? The writer in residence that I meet only published one book. It seems to be a popular book. It makes me questioned why she had been choosen to be an artist in residence. She had noe explained that., only what she could do with the group I was in. I guess I will have to ask with some tack.
