As an artist and creative you already innately have it in you to reevaluate and adapt. Pivoting is a part of our journey and sometimes hearing others stories may help us navigate our pivots easier. Listen in on how working artists, those who work in and around the arts, and arts educators have pivoted in their careers, personal lives, and the lessons they have learned along the way. Hopefully their perspectives will inspire, inform, and let you know you’re not alone.
