Lexy's 5 year

Year 1: Find a job to fund my move to North or South Carolina or Georgia. At this point it can be really anything to make money to move. Do art on the side and try to get work into Comma Coffee, The Hobson Gallery, and Artsy Fartsy.

Year 2: Move to the already mentioned states. Get a job with a literary review like the North Carolina Literary Review, Crazyhorse Literary Review, or Georgia Review. Enjoy the east coast.

Year 3: Continue to live  and work on the east coast and start submitting work to galleries like  the Alan Avery Art Company in Georgia, 701 CCA in South Carolina, or the Upstairs Gallery in North Carolina. 

Year 4: Get tired of the east and miss my family. Move back home. Start my own sort of small poetry review with my new connections and experience. Start applying to graduate school. 

Year 5: Move to the Bay Area [probably live with my grandma] and go to the University of San Francisco working towards my MFA in Creative Writing.

REMINDER: What's due for the final (besides breakfast)

Before the start of the final, you must have completed:

1. Your website, with all tweaks to portfolio, artist statement, and resume made.

2. Your fleshed out 5-year plan, with names and contact info for all the details (MFA programs, residencies, exhibit spaces, publishers, etc., you plan to approach), BOTH posted to this class blog, and printed out.

3. A one-paragraph statement on why it is important (or at least interesting) for a culture to have artists. Or, if it makes more sense to think of the question this way: what's the use of being an artist? Have a PRINTED COPY of this for the final.
