There’s a reason the term ”starving artist” is so ubiquitous: estimates say less than 10% of artists earn a full time income from their art. Yet art of all kinds is universally revered, and the top artists of every form reach international fame and immense financial freedom.
So what about the 90% of artists who struggle to get paid what they’re worth?
The Business of Art is food for the starving artist, as we interview artists across the professional and artistic spectrum about their journey in pursuing their craft, whether it’s as a professional or not.

Scott Wichmann is not just a Richmond legend because of his acting resume; he's also a legend because of his dedicated service to our community, and to our country.
Scott has been working as a professional actor for a couple of decades, and his passion for performing and entertaining audiences is evident. He's never without a funny quip, or eerily accurate impression of a famous actor or cartoon character.
And he's currently a chief mass communications specialist in the U.S. Navy Reserve, with deployments to Afghanistan, Africa, Italy and Germany.
Scott discusses his journey as an actor, why he chose to join the Navy Reserves in his 30's, and his impactful interaction with Steven Spielberg.
