Many part-time painters dream of turning their art into a career,
but don't know what it takes—or what it means—to be
a full-time artist. In this book, 21 painters, including Zoltan
Szabo, Tom Hill, Charles Sovek, Nita Engle and others, share
their stories, inspiration and advice.
Cay Lang's Taking the Leap has helped thousands of artists
jumpstart their careers and make real the dream of exhibiting
and selling their work. An internationally exhibited photographer
and teacher, Lang offers the wisdom of experience, combined
with enthusiasm and gentle humor, to guide artists through the
ins and outs of the art business. Practical and inspiring, this
revised and updated edition offers two new chapters—on
using the Internet and the media to best effect—plus
provides step-by-step advice on preparing presentation materials;
finding and dealing with galleries (as well as bypassing the
traditional gallery system); handling rights, royalties, and
taxes; an extensive resource list; and other invaluable information
for both beginning artists and those ready to take the next
step in their careers.
From North Light: This friendly guide outlines all the
possibilities for artists who want to make a living from artwork,
as well as for those who just want their art to pay for itself.
The book explores various sales venues, including inexpensive
home exhibits, mall shows and galleries; offers advice on marketing
strategies, including how to create a professional image, assemble
a portfolio and set prices; and provides worksheets and self-tests
to help readers focus their efforts.
