Expanding as an Artist

I had a conversation with a young artist who expressed his feelings that he will not make a good living as an artist. I told him that he was right. He looked at me with confusion. I explained to him that if you believe that, then it will be true. If failure is the end result you are looking for in your future, then that is what you are destined to become.  We then discussed about the many ways an artist can integrate his or her talents to any profession they desire. All that matters is that you believe in yourself and establish the goals you want to accomplish.

I also began to think how important we artists are to the world. How we create what we see, how we think, how we feel, how we communicate and how we love. A world with no art is like a voice with no meaning. Before I joined with GDI I wanted to find a way to give artists the opportunity to link with each other. To develop new ideas through GDI and help share success with each other. I believed that they should not be left out of all the great opportunities we can achieve.

Young artists should not live with a pessimistic presentation of themselves. They need to understand that there are various roads to follow. New ways of integrating their skills to new career opportunities or at least expand them.

Below are some fields where you can integrate with:

• art business consultant
• art gallery owner
• art supply business
• art curator for museums or art galleries
• art teacher
• public art director for municipalities
• art website webmaster
• marketer for artists
• art consultant for various industries
