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.

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.
