ABOUT THE BOOK
Living and Sustaining a Creative Life: Essays by 40 Working Artists
Edited by Sharon Louden
Published by Intellect Books
Distributed by University of Chicago Press
In this day and age, as art has become more and more of a commodity, many students graduating from art school believe that they will immediately make a living as an artist by obtaining gallery representation. One of the goals of this book is to dispel the belief that there is only one way to chart a path into a creative and sustainable life as an artist. This collection of essays is intended to show the reality of how artists — from the unknown to the established — juggle their creative lives with the everyday needs of making a living. They share with us in their own words how they are creative inside and outside the studio, both on a day-to-day basis and over the long haul.
Making art and participating in the art world over a lifetime is a challenge, and artists can all learn from each other along the way. Sharon Louden is proud and honored to bring these heartfelt stories to the larger public.
The book includes a forward by Carter Foster, curator of drawings at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a conclusion by Ed Winkleman, of Winkleman Gallery, and Bill Carroll, Director of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program.
