Congratulations to Holly Danger for being awarded one of the CT Office of the Arts' Artist Fellowships for 2021. Holly made a big career choice in April 2019, leaving her full-time job to focus on being a full-time video and performance artist. In December 2019 she exhibited her projection mapped room installation, "Let in, Let go" during Miami Art Basel at the Satellite Art Show, as well as the Illuminus Festival in Boston, and it is currently being exhibited at the K Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul. Since quarantine, Holly released her video art series ATMOSPHERE and has performed nearly 75 livestream audiovisual shows from her Danger Gallery as a way to stay connected to the creative community virtually. Holly reports that as a result of the Fellowship, she plans to build a virtual reality Danger Gallery exhibition space, continue to build out her livestream productions, and create a new series of digital art as NFTs, available on the crypto art marketplace Foundation, at foundation.app/hollydanger.

| | NEW PPP RULES FOR GIG WORKERS
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has new rules for PPP that allows Sole Proprietors to apply for more money than before. Many sole-proprietors, gig performers, 1099 independent contractors filed for (and tried to file for) the PPP loan/grant this spring only to find out that you were not going to get much money or no money at all. However, this second round of PPP has a new way for you to calculate your income and thus the amount of your PPP. Under the old rule your income listed on line 31 of our Schedule C determined your loan amount. This was your NET profit. This amount was small for many of you who itemize. The new rule (if you file a Form 1040) allows you to use your GROSS income to calculate your loan amount. This is your income before any deductions which is line 7 on Schedule C. Read More...

| | ARTS ADVOCATES TURN UP THE HEAT ON STATE FUNDING SUPPORT 6119
Constitutional law, anatomy, pre-engineering classes for kids who want to learn dance and jazz music. Student programming that has gone from a red-carpeted auditorium to a virtual stage. New play development that hasn’t stopped during a global pandemic. A vision for the state’s COVID-19 recovery that isn’t complete without its museums, theaters, and orchestras. Those are a few of the programs that over 100 theater and museum directors, arts administrators, teachers, and individual artists championed last month as they gathered in support of proposed House Bill 6119. Proposed by Madison and Durham State Rep. John-Michael Parker, the bill seeks to raise the percentage of the state’s occupancy tax that goes into the Connecticut Tourism Fund from 10 percent to 25 percent. That extra 15 percent currently goes into the state’s general fund. Read full article...

| | WHY MORE DIGITAL ARTISTS ARE EMBRACING CRYPTOCURRENCY
Christie’s is auctioning its first-ever virtual artwork and accepting Ethereum as payment. Andrés Reisinger sold $450,000 worth of “impossible furniture” using non-fungible tokens. What does this mean for digital artists? The authenticity of each item is verified using a non-fungible token (NFT), which are digital assets that represent a wide range of one-of-a-kind tangible and intangible items. NFTs are individually identified on a blockchain, which means that each one contains distinguishing information and is easily verifiable. For artists, using NFTs to sell work on a digital platform directly to collectors heralds the rise of a transformative economic model. It not only eliminates intermediaries like galleries that keep half the initial selling price, but allows creators to determine their portion of secondary-market sales in perpetuity.
