I just read this great article by the NYTimes.com about people adapting to the recession.
Architect for 5cents
If I had the financial backing, I would totally start my own little business somewhere. What kind of business, you ask? I would start a small bakery/tea house and up scale gallery/exhibition space. I would rent out the exhibition space to artists on a sliding scale. Provide some exhibition tools and allow them the space that is nearly impossible to find on your own. I would provide advertisement and food as the bakery downstairs would be open for business while the show ran. Maybe have performances by local bands on Saturdays in the gallery? The bakery would be a place where college students, beatniks, ...anyone really... could hang out. Free internet. Cheap (but amazing) coffee and great teas. Actual sandwiches and light meals. After 9pm we would sell wine... I would hire all my friends who are looking for work. It would be amazing. Any takers for financial backing?
