Creative Approaches to Business & Building an Income from Art

Welcome to the season four finale of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Career Coach Lauryn Hill and Isotta explore the overlapping challenges that creatives face and potential solutions to work through those tough times. They also chat about where they’d like to see the creative industry grow and improve in the coming years, including more meaningful collaboration and creative opportunities to make money. Lauryn describes her experience navigating the coaching paradigm and working with creatives who are facing similar issues, despite coming from different industry sectors. She highlights how important it is for artists to embrace variety, diversity, and career shifts. The industry is becoming much less segmented and celebrates multidimensional creatives with transferable skills. Part of expanding your range can come from working with different people within and outside of your community. Lauryn notes that there’s been a movement towards cultivating more transparency in the art world, particularly around lessons learned. Join Isotta and Lauryn as they discuss ways to add value and create opportunities for artists.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:How to avoid limiting yourself as a creative The benefits of having exposure to different experiences and learning from new people through part-time jobs or short-term gigs How artists from across industries can re-invest their learning into the communityFree and low-cost resources for people who are struggling in their creative practice, but aren’t ready to financially invest in coaching Why we should be challenging the ‘starving artist’ archetype Breaking down the hierarchy and gatekeeping of information in the art world Resources: Download Lauryn’s free Career Clarity Starter KitGuest Info:Contact Lauryn: lauryn@curatedsplash.comLauryn’s websiteLauryn’s InstagramFollow Us:Our WebsiteInstagram | Isotta’s InstagramFacebookTwitterDonate | Music by Blue Dot Sessions | Cover art by Eleonora Tucci Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations
