The truth is, it takes a long time to learn how to make a living as an artist. When you are a full time artist, you aren’t just a painter, you’re also a small business owner. I wish we lived in a world where we could just make art and not worry about the rent but, alas. Learning the skills you need to have a profitable art business will come from many different teachers over many years. Starting an art career is an exhilarating journey, but it often requires juggling between creating art and paying the bills. And honestly, it's wise to find a balance between the two, especially when you're beginning.The key is to find jobs that not only help with the financial aspect but also give you skills or experiences that can be beneficial to your art career. Ideally, these jobs should be manageable: not draining your energy or time excessively.Host and artist Stephanie Scott breaks down the practicality of the art career with topics including: sustainable creative practices, social media skills, and the mindsets that keep it all together.
