I am going for doing a festival at the camp/resort where my husband and I work for 5 months a year in the Catskills mountains of NY. He is a director for the facility which serves all sorts of groups who rent the facility and is camp fo r kids for 6 weeks in the middle of summer. I am a retired art professor and artist. I want to plan for either June or Sept of 2010. I have verbal committments from several artists and writers and an improv teacher in theatre as well as a drum circle who does world rhythmns for novices. We will have a campfire, a band and a lot of fun. The facility is perfect for this. What I need is a keynote speaker. I have sent inquiries to people who seem to possess the glue needed for such a diverse group. I would like to ask you first if you think your message would be appropriate for a diverse group of creative people (as opposed to only visual artists) and second what your expenses and policies on doing public speaking at an event like this are.Like, how much do you cost, when do you need to be paid and how long would you require as notice if it all fails and no one signs up! I am very early in planning, just doing the legal work on becoming a group and starting an interactive mail art project to act as a kick-off fundraiser for the event. Please consider and get back to me.
