Brad Kelly, an international photographer who hails from Winder, said the current market is the worst for art he has seen in his 51-year career. Kelly was interviewed for a story on the impact of the economy on festival artists during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in State College, Penn. He said economic conditions have made him more willing to negotiate with buyers on pricing and he has become more selective about which shows he attends. Art appears to something consumers give up when the economy goes down. "It's the first to go and the last to come back," Kelly said. "In a bad economy, they (people) can't eat art."

Fred and Terri Wulf run a downtown Winder business where customers can paint their own pottery.
The first time Terri Wulf painted at Mudpatch Creations, she sat for hours with a brush in hand, a piece of clay pottery her canvas, and with each stroke made the piece her own. Wulf's trip to the downtown Winder art shop, where visitors can purchase and paint their own pottery, was a Mother's Day gift more than two years ago from the Dacula resident's daughter, Tania. "We just were absorbed," Wulf remembered. "I don't think I moved for about six hours outside of the paint brush. That's what caught me." Leaving Mudpatch Creations that day, Wulf picked up a free newspaper and saw that the business was actually up for sale. "I said, 'Wouldn't that be cool if I could do that?'" she said. Wulf's husband, Fred, had money set aside to invest, …
