Practical Handbook for the Emerging Artist

The multitude of contemporary professional issues facing todays artist are dealt with in a detailed, practical way in this handbook. Primarily designed to help visual art students make the transition from art school to their own art practice, this book is also an excellent resource for practicing artists. It is the first book to focus on all aspects of the emerging artists career -- studio practice, developing ties in the artworld, documenting work, exhibitions, art writing, curating, financial and legal concerns, and graduate school. Resources in the handbook include addresses for journals, magazines, agencies and organizations that provide listings of art-related jobs; sample documents which serve as models, such as an artist-dealer contract; and instructions on researching sources of financial support for making artwork.
