The Artist's Roadmap: Practical Strategies for a Career in Art -- Delphian, Paperback
Being an artist is challenging. Not only are the skills difficult to master, but there is no single route to success: all artistic careers are different. Authored by the founders of Delphian Gallery---an artist--run gallery and digital platform---The Artist's Roadmap charts the complex geography of the contemporary art world. This career guide reveals what goes on behind the exhibition display and in the curator's office in a compassionately frank discussion of what professional practice means today and the commercial aspects of being an artist.
Rich in practical guidance, The Artist's Roadmap positions early-career artists for those rare moments of opportunity that could define their career, while providing them with the tools and know--how to forge their own paths to success. Grounded and well-informed, this guide addresses everything from approaching galleries and understanding representation to the nuts and bolts of artistic business, such as shipping, tax, and insurance. At a time when artists are increasingly obliged to hide the realities of their practice behind tight--lipped exhibition texts and marketable mystique, The Artist's Roadmap is refreshingly honest and an essential primer for any aspiring artist.
