Graduates of creative programs find it extremely hard to get jobs in this field. You also might be thinking that being an artist is reserved for others.
The truth is, your talent doesn’t determine your success in the art world. Unfortunately for purists, it’s name recognition and the emotions that your name evokes from art buyers.
That means these marketing books are incredibly important if you want your art to reach far and wide. The unique challenges you’ll find along the way are covered in these books, written by experts in marketing in the arts.
These are authors whose time you couldn’t buy – so it is amazing that you can buy hundreds of pages of their advice and guidance for a few bucks!
