                  About Art for Profit's Sake

                  From the publisher's feed

                  Art for Profit’s Sake is a series of discussions with artists working at different stages of their business. It explores the entrepreneurship, successes, and failures that all artists go through when finding their niche and developing their income. It aims to break the myth of the polarity of starving artist vs international success and instead focuses on the hard work and constant learning that is required when your passion to create art drives your practicality.
