Artists Make Money By Forgoing Traditional Galleries PDF Print E-mail

NWACC tipped me off to this article from All Things Considered on National Public Radio...

smith_watercolor_200It isn't easy to make money as an artist these days, but three crafty New Yorkers are managing to sell their work — and make a living — outside the traditional gallery system.

Nancy Smith, 57, is something of an artistic wheeler-dealer. She embroiders, paints, draws, makes collages and photographs her family. She also runs artloversnewyork.com, an advertiser-supported Web site about the New York City art scene, and she'll sometimes barter with artists, trading Web coverage for works of art that she later sells to help pay her bills.

Most recently, Smith is showing several of her watercolors and banners at Other Music, an independent record store in Manhattan's East Village.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
