We at Lake Affect Magazine know how difficult it is for artists to begin and grow their professional creative career. In fact, one of the most requested things on our latest survey was about exactly that.

To that end, we reached out to a place called PathStone. PathStone is a nonprofit organization that provides not only financial assistance in the form of loans, but also education and training to help artists pursue their dreams of a professional creative career. Go to the URL below and see what PathStone can do to help you pursue yours.

Hello again, everyone. Just wanted to thank everyone again who participated in our surprise pop-up survey. I also wanted to announce the next step in the process.

Like we promised before, this is just the start of where we're headed. What we want to do now is starting with those people that initially responded. We want each of you to send us an email at [email protected] with the subject line "Impact the Arts Survey". In that email, we want you to describe just a quick few lines about what's most important to you and include your questions. Once we get those, we will turn around and get back to each of you personally.

After those initial responders are done, it's our goal to have another survey and hopefully get more feedback from even more of you. ... Stick with us and together we can build a truly helping community for our future.

Recently, we decided to do something a little different. Without any advance notice, we put up an impromptu survey asking all of you what you'd like to see most in Lake Affect Magazine. This "Impact the Arts" survey gave us an opportunity to get some starting feedback from all of you about where and what you would like to learn more about.

The initial results are in and we are pleased to announce what many of you shared with us. Now if you missed our survey, don't worry. this wasn't your only chance to share with us the direction or interests that matter to you most. As we go, we will be presenting other surveys and we hope to hear back from many, many more of you when we do.

It is through your readership, and your following, that Lake Affect Magazine will be able to grow and prosper. Together, we will be able to provide the Arts community with not only an outlet, but a resource as well, to showcase and build their efforts and expressions.

Please comment below and let us know your thoughts and feelings on these interests.

Vol. 61 Artist Feature: Ana Bellanti

Ana Bellanti (, ) is a photographer and college student based in Buffalo, New York. For this artist, the lens has become an indispensable tool, enabling the seamless combination of capturing and creating artwork. As a college student, her passion for various forms of media is palpable, driving her to continually refine her skills and carve a niche as an artist. Eager and enthusiastic about sharing her evolving creations, Ana eagerly seeks new opportunities to expand her artistic horizons.

"It was an August evening at the Point Abino Lighthouse. I was holding my father's old Blackberry cell phone far too close to my face in an attempt to capture the scene - my first photograph. I was convinced it was the best thing I had ever done, but though I lacked skill, I had uncovered a fondness for creativity that stays with me to this day.
Something about the lens has always simplified the artistic process for me. Even when sketching, I have found that observing the paper through a camera lens allows the angles and composition to be much more mentally apparent, almost as if a blueprint were projected onto my sketchbook to trace over. I seem to have discovered my tool, one that lets me both capture and create artwork to the best of my ability."

You can find Ana's piece "Enchantment" in Lake Affect Magazine Volume. 61 on page 35.
