Business is booming for artists at summer festivals
By Arrianee LeBeau KVAL NewsEUGENE, Ore- Several artists at the festival said they don’t have stores and sell most of their work online. But during the summer many travel from city to city selling their artwork at festivals. They said traveling to festivals gives them an opportunity to showcase there talent with others. “The opportunity to come out and interact with people, show them my work and get feedback helps inform the next piece. It lets me know what I’d like to create next,” said Jason Johnston. Johnston does bronze cast figurative work. His sculptures feature sports figures and represent the human condition. He said business has been good for him during the recession. “Last weekend I was in Lake Oswego just outside of Portland and as far as I could tell there is no recession in Lake Oswego. All the artists were doing great,” said Johnston. Two of his sculptures were given to President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. |
