Sounds like a very much needed conference Michael, I have felt for a very long time that we need a new renaissance in art, a return to beauty and romanticism may help lift us up out of the cultural mire we are currently in. Make Art Beautiful Again. . .could maybe make up some MABA hats, Lol.

Frater, thank you I like the spirit of your comments! The artists are there, but the deepstate/CIA cabal is still intrenched in and gatekeeping the artworld. If you have the interest, Frances Saunders's book The Cultural Cold War: The CIA and the World of Arts and Letters is freak'n brilliant history, exposing their cultural incursions. There are some champions for MABA but they come from dissenting voices within the deepstate, hopelessly compromised. And there are regional magazines and communities but they think small. And I have yet to see a mega wealthy person with a Lorenzo de Medici mindset. If Musk knew as much about art has he does technology we would be fine, but he's just a nerd that likes to sleep on a couch in a trailer.

I just now finished listening to Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto #2 & have to agree with you. Great insight as always.

That sounds incredible; the atmosphere, filled with all those beautiful minds and ideas, must have been electric. What an achievement to put all that together!

I ordered your studio book, I am eagerly awaiting its arrival and hope to better myself and teach my kids, too. Thank you so much for sharing your story, your art, your talent.
