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.

Would the 5-year-old Madison Ellington, dancing at her local dance studio West End Academy of Dance, ever have been able to dream that one day she would be the owner and boss of the very same studio?
Or that she would grow the studio some 5 times over in just a few short years?
And would you believe that a lot of that growth happened during a time where each dancer had to be spaced 6 feet apart, all while dancing in a Dick's Sporting Goods store?
Believe it or not, all of these stories are true. You can hear Madison's incredible story on Episode 9 of The Business of Art.
