Economic Downturn Brings Creativity
On July 26th, Yamet Arts was mentioned in a New York Times article about how hard economic times cause artists and art dealers to find new ways of cooperating with each other. The article, by Phillip Lutz, titled Economic Downturn Forces Groups to get Creative uses as one example the For Love of Art Show last February, sponsored by Rick Yamet and Ben Green. Because attendance was far above expectations, Yamet and Green are considering follow up shows in the future. As hosts of the show, Yamet and Green feel that working together with local artists and dealers is a winning situation for all those involved. The team work shows these joint efforts can be successful and benefit the artists and the sponsors while providing the public with access to a variety of creative work even during difficult economic times.

Glad to see your mention in the NY Times. The good thinking that involves combined efforts to show art should be applauded. The space at the Hat Factory is great as it can accomodate large shows and large concepts. I would be happy to be part of any future exhibitions.

Another great mention for us both. All thanks to Maxwell for organizing visits around town for the writer. It's true too. We are all working together, cooperating more and more to keep the creativity flowing.

Requesting an appraisal can be as objective of an experience as asking a clothing store assistant "does this jacket look good on me?"
Rick appraised a Georges Lambert painting for me and deserves applause for the content of the report, clarity and earnest opinion of its' value.
At the end of the day, isn't it all about being earnest.
Rick, thanks for attention....Mark
