Description
by Delphian (Author), Charley Peters (Contribution by), Lori Fitzgerald (Contribution by)
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.
