You’ve just walked into a new gallery exhibition, and immediately you start thinking about the artist who created these amazing works in front of you. You dream of working in the arts and what that would be like. But have you ever thought about all the other ways you could also work in the arts? To put on that one exhibit there is also a gallery, and thus, a gallery owner (not to mention gallery employees), there’s potentially a marketing company that helps the gallery spread the word on new features, there might be writers and art critics that write reviews, and there may have even been a curator pulling all of these various pieces and people together. So, when we really get to thinking about it, there are a lot of ways to make a living working in the arts. And, as you are about to hear from this week’s guest, perhaps, if your goal has been to make an impact - to raise awareness around important social issues - well… maybe making the art isn’t always the fastest or biggest or most direct way to make that impact…

It is a crazy time of year right now. No matter how much earlier in the year you start preparing for holiday sales, it never seems like there’s enough time… While we all love this craft, but at times, it can also feel lonely. If you are looking for other makers to connect with, share stories, and support each other along the way to figuring out how the heck to make a living from the things we make (or at least make a side hustle), I’d love for you to come to check out The Community - our online membership and virtual home for makers. I know firsthand over these last 12 years, it’s only together that we really can make this dream come true. And a great bonus to the amazing supportive Community you’ll be a part of? By joining, you are also supporting the creation of this very podcast!
