Skills: The Hustle, Funding Your Practice
Amanda Bradley and Juan Luis Matos
In this session, with assistance from Amanda Bradley and Juan Luis Matos, we will present several case studies on how different artists fund their living through their practice. Because artists don’t have a blueprint for what their career looks like, many of them struggle with understanding what is possible. This session is meant to help artists set more realistic goals for their practice.
