Career questions tagged fine-artist
While in school for fine arts, how should I go about making connections that will help me work as a full time artist?
I am currently a senior in high school, and I am planning to pursue a bachelor of fine arts. This has been my dream since I was in middle school, and I am extremely passionate in making art my career. However, I know there is no one path to becoming an artist, and I am unsure about the steps I will have to take in order to make fine art a full time career. I'm sure I will learn more as I pursue my degree, but I was wondering if there were any tips that helped you get a head start in connecting to the world of professional artists. Thank you!
