The simple answer is : Yes![/mk_fancy_title]
Now let’s ask the question in different ways:
- Can I make a living as an artist?
- Is there a business model to make money in art?
- Can I qualify as an artist to make a living from it?
- I chose a career in art to create not to deal with business affairs I want to spend my time in creation and inspiration away from the material world and its hypocrisy. Can I still make a living from art?
- Can I be a nonacademic artist and still qualify?
Again the simple answer is still yes to all the devil as usual is in the detail on how to go about it.
For starters you need to think as an entrepreneur or what I call artpreneur who is also by definition a creator, use your vision and creativity to come up with ideas how to bring your art in front of the people your believe would appreciate it to deliver your message, share your vision and make all this effort worthwhile and financially rewarding.
Art is still considered a luxury and not a necessity, your first challenge is how to create the emotional statement to make it a priority and a must. How can your art stimulate, provoke, entice, seduce, inspire and fits with the décor!
