And, when I read something described as "affordable" I can almost guarantee that it won't actually be something I can afford. $600 for a 2-day course is not affordable. It might a good value (depending on the quality of education), but it is certainly not affordable for the average person. This is especially absurd since the $600 price tag is as (or more) expensive than many full conferences. So, it looks like their entire proposed mission is a misfire. If they dropped a zero & made it $60 -- now THAT would be affordable. Why is it that “affordable” gets applied to everything these days?

Who can afford to go? I know, it's definitely not for unemployed artists. I love to go, but it costs $595.00. Who can afford to go? I know, it’s definitely not for unemployed artists.
