I’m going to Detroit for the love of Art

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention. May I have your attention, please.

Thank you.

As you know, a lot of great things are coming out of Detroit. The White Stripes, Canadian weather, and thank god on March 20th, I’ll be coming back out of there as well. In the meantime, I will be a featured artist at a show put on by Detroit Artists Market entitled, “M.O.R.E.” (manufacturers of real excellence). This show aims to compare how artists use media with how corporations use media.

I plan to put on my best suit and go to corporations and explain to them why art is important. I’ll cold call offices, walk in and ask to set up appointments with someone in marketing. Should I get drunk first? Or stay sober, but cut off my ear at some point? The art community has some exciting things to offer a business. I’m not sure if those are two of them. But for a hundred thousand or so, I will be able to come up with some important outside perspectives, I’m sure.

Please forgive the break in continuity from the National Dinner Tour, but this is a big opportunity to preach the gospel of art to a group of business school sinners.

Thank you for you attention. Please enjoy your evening.
