2006 INSIGHT Survey

Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in our 2006 INSIGHT survey. INSIGHT allows artists to share their creative philosophies and compare income potential with fellow crafts-people in the same medium. This year we are focusing on two craft media in most months as a way to include more artists in the survey.

Results for each month’s medium or media will be published in each issue.

We also invite you to mail or e-mail a jury-quality slide, transparency or high-resolution digital image of your work along with a 100-word INSIGHT describing how and where you find the best markets for your work.

Submissions and images, including a padded SASE, can be mailed to:
