Additional How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist, 5th ed.: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul Information

The classic handbook for launching and sustaining a career that "explodes the romantic notion of the starving artist", with new and expanded resources for succeeding in the burgeoning Internet art market (The New York Times)

Now in its fifth edition, with over 85,000 copies of previous editions sold, How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist is the preeminent guide to taking control of your career and making a good living in the art world. Drawing on over two decades of experience, Caroll Michels walks artists through the complicated process of balancing grants, gallery representation, private dealer sales, and a personal studio to ensure a public profile and a steady income. Included is a wealth of insider's information on getting into a gallery, being your own PR agent, and negotiating prices, as well as innovative marketing, exhibition, and sales opportunities for various art disciplines.

The new edition is fully updated with strategies for using the Web—everything from generating income through freelance work, to creating an entrepreneurial web site for promoting work to agents and clients, to assessing online galleries. An expanded and updated appendix adds more than 200 new resources such as Web designers, insurance and legal services for artists, internships, art colonies, and corporate and public art programs.

What Customers Say About How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist, 5th ed.: Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul:

Lots of thought provoking info: like writing Artist Statements, and not so thin Resumes. Also Art Selling on the Internet is covered. You will enjoy reading this book.

Caroll Michels was the pioneer years ago for guiding artists, and she still leads the way. Everything she writes is based on real experience. I always recommend and give this book to students and artist friends simply because it's the best.

I couldn't do more than flip though this book. She gives you a lot of actions, and helpful tools and encouragement to help get your work out there. There was a chapter about bad advice, and all it was doing was giving examples of bad advice, but offered nothing to contradict that bad advice.

All it really is is a bunch of random stories all mashed together about what artists think they have to do and how it's all a myth. If you were looking to get a good career book get I'd Rather Be in the Studio by Alyson B. I was expecting some kind of structure or list or types of things to start doing to help me better my situation.

As if the good advice was implied. Don't think you have to do this, and don't sell out, don't prostitute yourself for shows. (yes it actually goes into detail about that) After a lot of flipping around looking for some type of structure to the comments, I got nothing out of it.

Stanfeild. And the book is structured, easy to read, and easy to find the information that's most useful to you at the time.

if you need resources, and no nonsense advice this is the book for you. worth every penny. [.].

It will give you a basic framework from which to strategically think about developing your art career. My wife is the artist and I have agreed to help her learn about marketing her art. This book is clearly written and a tremendous source of information. It is written in a very serious, even bitter tone, which can be a bit off-putting (hence the 4 out of 5 stars), but I suspect that is because ultimately, art is like any other financial venture: it is not romantic and business is business. Highly recommended.
