Making A Business Of Your Art April 09
The document provides advice on building a successful career as a visual artist. It emphasizes developing business skills and taking a small business approach rather than relying solely on grants and public funding. The speaker discusses researching the Irish art market, setting goals and objectives, developing a professional presentation, identifying appropriate galleries and sales outlets, and ways to grow the business over time through marketing strategies like prints, licensing, and workshops. Taking initiative to promote and sell one's own work is presented as a more viable strategy than waiting for opportunities to arise.
