Basekamp

Last week, the foundation lecture was about Basekamp, an organization that promotes and sponsors collaborative artwork, both local and international. While the speaker seemed to be a bit frazzled about adrressing the gathered crowd on the subject of the group, i was able to find my own interest in what he was talking about. The idea of place here in Philly where people can have weekly discussions about their work is very enticing. While I have never been one to relish talking about artwork to death, I can most definitely see the benefit of a unified front of artists right here in the city. In the business of graphic design and illustration, I don't think I'd much like to do gallery shows but being able to connect with local professionals in person or online could only help my future career. Basekamp seems like a good and even necessary idea.
