Episode 2: Where are the Resources? How to Find Grants, Tools and Guidance to be a Successful Artist
Helping artists navigate the tools that are available to them. Applying for grants is a great way for artists to ease the financial burden that often comes as part of being a working artist.
An artist’s “brand” is not just a label, a logo, or a signature—instead, it’s one of the most powerful marketing tools you can have. Your brand is what you’re known for. Good branding is the act of becoming known for something that you do, above any other competitor. As an individual artist, likely, you don’t have an established brand as large companies do—which means if you want to gain customers, you must create a brand of your own.
Episode 4: Artist and Entrepreneur: Balancing Business and Arts
