Welcome to the season four finale of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Career Coach Lauryn Hill and Isotta explore the overlapping challenges that creatives face and potential solutions to work through those tough times. They also chat about where they’d like to see the creative industry grow and improve in the coming years, including more meaningful collaboration and creative opportunities to make money. Lauryn describes her experience navigating the coaching paradigm and working with creatives who are facing similar issues, despite coming from different industry sectors. She highlights how important it is for artists to embrace variety, diversity, and career shifts. The industry is becoming much less segmented and celebrates multidimensional creatives with transferable skills. Part of expanding your range can come from working with different people within and outside of your community. Lauryn notes that there’s been a movement towards cultivating more transparency in the art world, particularly around lessons learned. Join Isotta and Lauryn as they discuss ways to add value and create opportunities for artists.
