That’s what professional practice is. Professional practice is the business dimension of your artist’s career and life. Whether you’ve been to art school or are self-taught, you’ve learned how to make the art that has meaning for you. Professional practice is about how you take your art to the world. It’s about the way you promote yourself. It’s about taking advantage of opportunities to grow your art career in a way that suits your own vision for your art.
It’s about the business of art.
And the business of your art is about to change.
