Oberlin artists chase living from bold work and festivals
Three Oberlin artists Harley Banyas and Speer discuss making a living from art. Harley traces a stubborn self reliance with earnings around 18 000 last year while Rottmayer eyes a New York gallery show in September 1989. Speer and Banyas sell most works and travel to art meccas, balancing festival networks with Medina and Oberlin home life.
