The Asset of Art, interactive webinar
At the end of last year, the interactive webinar The Asset of Art place. This webinar focused on how to maintain and strengthen the position of artists at a time when the art climate is rapidly changing. How can one get more out of one's artistic, social and economic position while remaining true to one's own vision? Together with a series of (international) speakers these questions were examined.
You can read the report online in three parts:
- The socio-economic position of artists as a wicked problem
The Flemish sociologist Delphine Hesters did extensive research into the socio-economic position of artists. This is a 'wicked problem' she tells more about here. An important subject for artists, "because it is good to have a grip on the reality in which you operate and to know the mechanisms therein." - Exploding the myth of the suffering artist
In his book Real Artists Don't Starve tries Jeff Goins to puncture the myth of the suffering and poor artist. He developed a method to liberate you as an artist from that myth. According to him it is all about making choices. - How artists work together to strengthen their position
How do artists survive in an art world that asks a lot of them and is not accessible enough for many to live from? There are many examples of how artists do this, individually or in artists' initiatives, in the Netherlands and abroad. Art is a Guaranty went looking and found a number of initiatives.
