Hey all, I wanted to formally introduce myself. My name is Damien Jones the new director at MK-Eat, lifelong artist and Wisconsinite. I have a passion for assisting artists with funding and developing business and sales acumen. I believe that the future of business and the arts puts the potential in the hands of the creators. The connection economy empowers us to bring our art to the people in various ways that can provide revenue to be a viable second or even primary source of income. That does require a new set of skills that artists may not have had the need to develop previously. My company Future Lotus will be creating projects to aid artists in doing just that.
Dan Kelly has done a great job of establishing MK-Eat and putting on two successful events. Today, I ask you to consider joining me in continuing his work. I am building a steering committee to carryout the mission of MK-Eat. Are you: a visual artist, musician, writer, dancer, actor, comedian, pro chef, home cook or an enthusiast of any of art and/or food? Then I could use your help! In order to properly transition and put on successful events the next MK-Eat will be postponed. I will be updating you all soon once a new date is established in the meantime you can message me on Facebook or email me at futurelotuswi@gmail.com.
