Success: Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

A Lecture on Artistic Success with Eric Miller
Tomorrow, Saturday, June 10, 2011, 4:00 p.m.


The much-debated concept of “is it art or is it craft” is often side-stepped for lack of meaningful ways to avoid the all too common misguided value judgments inherent in the topic. Not only does this ignore the continuous interplay between these ideas, it also limits our ability to measure the success of our creative practice. 

What we perceive as success or failure has more to do with the way we measure those results then it does with any kind of intrinsic value we may discover. Understanding the forces at work and reconciling them with our own ideas of our position along the continuum of craft and art can be essential to artistic success. This lecture is idea for writers, artists, performers—anyone who struggles to define creative success. 

This lecture is free and open to the public and registration is not necessary.

Eric Miller works with artists and creative people through his design and consulting business. He is the publisher of the print journal Funny Sexy and a graduate of the Master in Writing program at Pacific University. His business, EK Miller Design LLC, has been working with artists and creative companies worldwide for over 18 years.

See you then!
