Welcome to the first in a series of themed episodes of Monetizing Your Creativity. In this edition, Marvin pulls segments of Fred’s interviews with arts specialists who dedicate time and energy not only to their own studio work but also invest in the development and teaching of other individuals. Chrysalis is an organization that discovers the abilities in individuals with disabilities and trains them for volunteer or part-time / full-time employment. As part of programming to explore and develop a variety of latent artistic talents and mastery of social situations, artists who are excellent in their own personal arts activities encourage the learners to expand personal and professional horizons through various forms of art … painting, sculpting, movement, speech and music. A variety of these specialists spoke with Fred about how their teaching of arts to others actually enhanced their own creative energy and output. Both the therapists and their students have found ways to monetize their own creativity in a way that allows them to do what they love on a daily basis. In fact, the very process of creating artwork is therapeutic and the products of that energy can be sold in order to earn money to continue the production of more art. Whatever craft category you may love to work in, don’t deny yourself the pleasure of sharing the love you have for the artist and talent in you with others. Water those human seedlings and watch them grow and thrive and create more original work to share with the world.
