Description

You have a great talent, but do you know how to make a success of it? One of the things not taught in art school is just how active and engaged you need to be. You will have to become your own finance, business and marketing manager, as well as researcher, curator and administrator. Your career is in your hands, but you didn't attend a business school, and you need to focus on what you know best. What They Didn't Teach You in Art School is the ultimate survival guide to life as an artist, while also a perfect springboard for aspiring artists who haven't yet given up the day job. The book provides expert advice, tips and inspiration to help you build a successful career - giving you the time to nurture your true talent.
