National Network for Artist Placement Art That Pays Art that Pays
The Emerging Artist's Guide to Making a Living with appendix CD featuring hundreds of links to resources for artists. How will this book help? By pointing you in some directions, showing you where to get information you may need. By giving you the experience of others who have gone before you who may have done something you can benefit from, and who have been gracious enough to pass it on. By helping you to see what kind of a plan you need. By helping you make a plan. Bottom line, as an artist you have an even greater need to make long-term plans than other folks. Income will likely come at irregular intervals. You'll have to save money whenever you can, get good credit, maintain a fuel-efficient vehicle, and find the way to do your art. Yet we all must budget for rent, food, telephone, transportation, clothing, health insurance, gas and electric--the stuff of day-to-day living. Inside this book are practical suggestions and ideas to help you cope with artist's life including housing, telephone, home office, car, health insurance, finances, internet, legal assistance, grants, MFA Programs, theatre companies, artist retreats, working overseas, and putting together your portfolio.
