MAKING IT IN THE ART WORLD
It is always good to know how successful artists are willing to share their path to success. Brainard Carey is one such artist, whose work has been exhibited all over the world.
He wrote "Making it in the Art World: New Approaches to Galleries, Shows, and Raising Money," is written for artists who want to build their career or boost and improve their existing career. His book is a how-to guide with a workbook component.  Molly Braswell wrote a review, a short excerpt of which is here. ‘In the book, Carey provides information on how to be a successful artist, mostly through personal anecdotes and experiences. At the end of each chapter, he gives the reader space to answer some questions and respond to certain prompts; these sections are designed to keep the reader on track with his or her career. The workbook aspect is well thought out and useful, but Carey's reflections and tips in the chapters are often redundant and common sense. In my opinion, Carey missed a great opportunity to create a workbook for artists, complete with a calendar/schedule. This could be really useful for the average artist who works from home and does not have a set schedule.' The book inspired me to turn its
book-cover literally into a work of art. A unique one after all because a book by a famous artist provided with a unique oil painting by an emerging artist. In my opinion, that is the most important step to success and Brainard Carey more or less skips it because it is a self-help book. Art has to sell itself, I'm not going to get into that.
