Well it turns out The Art Church isn't just charging Artists to be seen now they are charging Bands to be heard. It's called pay to play.

- hey question, wanted to hear about this art church in hot springs
- sure
- whats your number
- i can spare 5 minutes
- i know someone who works there, or says she does
- Dont worry , not a fan of what she is doing

Here is the woman that he was referring too. She acts like she is just an innocent Artists/Musician when in fact she is a huckster working for The Art Church.

November 4Anna Jordan-Williams- Im look'n forward to learn'n more about you. Youre name is familiar...did you attend Henderson State? I just recently moved back from Dallas, been gone awhile and I agree with you...
Hot Springs just went to hell...
Its not the same at all as when I left it several years ago...I was under the wing of Benini. And grateful for it...
Im a musician by trade, but find myself in the middle of stirr'n up the pot of the art scene here, on all levels, wow!
seriously, I ask: what happen'd?
Lazy in the mind & spirit is what Ive come across and I aim to change that!
I hope we can meet up sometime...until then...kick ass & take names!
*peace* :o)
November 4Daniel Kimery- Vanity Galleries Like Star Gallery, Legacy, Gallery Central are what happened. Once The Galleries realized they could make money off of charging the artists an exhibitors fee the selling agenda went out the door along with the jury and it ceased to be about promoting great art and started being about ripping off talentless losers that are willing to pay to be seen.
- outstanding
- id rather talk about it than write about it if you dont mind
- what's your phone number?
- are you retarded
- I am a writer by trade
- I'm just not a socially awkward misfit thats afraid to talk on a phone
- you seemed pretty damn interested in me to be acting so shy all of a sudden
- I will repeat myself
- what is your phone number?
- You work for the art church and you were trying to probe me for information
- I don't want a relationship with an Art Church Spy.
- No you poked me and you wrote me first and commented me first

- yes I did write you only after you poked, and this is stupid. again Im sorry, I really thought we could work together, Im not sure what *spy* you are talkn about, but now that you have my attention I will search and learn more about you elsewhere.
- oh the flower sale? gosh I think Doc did that, and you must be on their list, of which I have no access to...
- So how long have you been friends with that Huckster Marc Menefee?
- Doctor Fowler? He isn't a real Doctor he's a Con Artist.
- What do you mean thought that we could work together? How?
- You need to get away from those people.
- cuz you have a strong voice & opinion on the art culture and how its not thriving for the artist, this is very important to me as a musician, becuz its pretty crappy too. again, I dont know much about art, but I do know what I like and Im not too happy about what is happening here...again Im from dallas so this hasnt been easy for me
- They have a horrible name in The Art Industry and you will too just by association.
- I am in The Process of running Star and Art Church out of Business and I am splattering their Artists like insects with my reviews.
- I have no room left in my heart for mercy after all that I've been through and all that is at stake.
- Anna listen to me... I don't care who I haft to hurt to bring these degenerates down so you're best off just evacuating.
- I am The Grim Reaper of The Art World. I don't just condemn Galleries. I condemn Artists.
- yeah i tried to work with stargallery, it didnt work out for me...not the right fit. i feel i have a better chance at the artchurch only becuz theyve just let me loose in it...i dont wish to compete with the galleries here & really not even offer the same thing...im aiming for something different thats inclusive to art, so that better quality is offered and they sell art instead of making fundraisers...i want it to be *event* oriented instead to support the programs within and the artists that come...
- Get your Art out of there before you find yourself in my crosshairs.
- Im a musician...I can barely paint the wall. thats a talent I wish I had...so perhaps you will spare me in your hunt. I do propose that we make an alliance thought, becuz you have something to say and I wanna hear it, you know the landscape here I dont...so I mean you no harm...what I need is your faith, i can change something...
- You can't ask me to have faith in you when you don't even have enough faith in me to talk on the phone.
- I can get more accomplished with 5 minutes on the phone than 2 hours iming
- I'm not your bro.
- I'm not even an acquaintance to you yet
- Write me back when you buy a phone ok.
- What is there to be skeptical about with me? You are the one that rubs elbows with grifters. I am an the one exposing why the Art Scene in Hot Spring has gone to shit and it's because of people like your friends at Star Gallery and Art Church.
- Vanity Galleries ruin every Art Scene that they infest because it is no longer about selling Art it's about ripping off talentless hacks that are willing to pay to be seen.
- Real Galleries don't charge an upfront fee and Real Artists are unwilling to pay one.
- What's wrong Anna you Art Church Sycophant Cat got your tongue?
- I'm gonna make you famous.
- nope I was talkn with my 4yr old daughter...singn actually
- I agree with you...and its the same in music...I will not pay to play...and the talent that is willing to do so, arent artists in my book. so in that we agree...
- Im gonna bounce, I need to pack for Austin...Ive got gigs there all weekend. see I have to do my craft elsewhere until it improves here...perhaps we can come to agreement somehow.
- have a great weekend
