This book supports emerging, mid-career and experienced artists, encouraging them to reconsider standard definitions of what it means to be a successful artist. Both pragmatic and motivational, Stacy Miller addresses what it means to have a successful long-term career in the arts, taking stock of the current landscape in the art world, introducing new venues in the field, reflecting on issues of social media and exhibition, and ultimately encouraging artists to take action in order to move their goals forward and take control of their professional lives. The book is woven throughout with interviews from internationally-based artists who have negotiated alternative paths to success.
