This book covers practical needs, different approaches, and philosophical ways of creating a life and career in the arts.

Most importantly, it gives artists a way to think about being a professional and the different paths to a successful career in the arts. Perfect for emerging, mid-career, and experienced artists, this book encourages readers to redefine personal success and to act locally, nationally, and internationally in an expanding art world.

Review

With decades of experience, Stacy Miller is my most trusted voice in professional development for artists. Her latest book, Career Management for Artists hits the market at a historical cultural moment and offers real strategies for artists to sustain their careers on their own terms. Building on the necessities such as an artist portfolio and teaching dossier, Miller puts the art market in proper focus and takes a singular approach to social media as an essential career building tool. I am excited to share this book with my students to reinforce what Miller so passionately believes: we need artists now more than ever.Melissa Potter, Art & Art History Department of Columbia College ChicagoStacy Miller is a widely respected expert on careers in the arts and is a passionate advocate for artists. With her new book, Career Management for Artists, Miller brings her considerable experience as both an educator and practicing artist, to this essential guide. Miller encourages artists to take control of their lives by employing the creative decision making process they use in the studio and applying that to their professional lives. I look forward to sharing this guide with our students and alumni who will benefit from Miller's important insights and ideas.Angie Wojak, Director of Career Development at the School of Visual Arts
