"A second type of reality is postulated reality, which is brought into being by creative or destructive imagination. This reality borders over into the still unexplored field of aesthetics. There are men, usually in the fields of the arts and philosophy, who postulate new realities for the social order. Social orders progress or decline in ratio to the number of new realities that are postulated for them. These postulates are made, usually, single-handedly by men of imagination."
- L. Ron Hubbard
Message from the Director
The theme of this newsletter is postulated reality, which as Mr. Hubbard states, is brought into being by creative or destructive imagination. As artists we all know there is a tremendous amount of creativity and imagination that we put into our craft to make our art become a reality. What if we put that same amount of creativity into making our art pay our bills and fulfill our dreams? Whether formally educated or self-taught, statistics show that artists who have little knowledge of the business side of the art world, have little hope of succeeding. That’s exactly where EMA Artists USA comes in. I urge you to become part of our movement. Read the successes below from our artist members so you can find out how having administrative basics and being a part of this team has benefited them in their artist endeavors.

Please tell us a little bit about your art business.
I have been an artist all my life but mainly dancing and performance art. It wasn’t till I was 35 that I discovered I am a painter. And so started to do art shows nationwide. I have been in business since 1996.
In general, how has the use of Mr. Hubbard's administrative technology impacted your business?
Mr. Hubbard's business education has been so helpful to me in running my art business, being a productive artist and thriving for 28 years as a full-time artist. His management technology has helped me organize all aspects of my business and art career.
What piece of Mr. Hubbard's administrative wisdom have you found particularly helpful in making your business successful?
Wow so many things! But mostly the condition formula’s and keeping statistics.
As a successful art business owner, is there one really valuable tip that you would like our readers to take away with them?
Mr. Hubbard has many policies regarding the subject of promotion. So I would say Promote, Promote, Promote!

To Clone a Spirit
The role of the artist is to clone a spirit.
Let’s face it, everybody’s cloning someone.
We might as well get into the act.
Join the herd or be stampeded.
Wait, that isn’t right.
Let me start over.
Let us all start over.
As spirits, we are artists.
It’s in our DNA—
our Do Not Agree.
The role of the artist
is to set an example
of being free.
