Anita Loomis: I am a professional painter and this book came highly recommended by other artists. It does not disappoint! Excellent reference and workbook format to help you find you own way forward in your career path. The yellow, updated version, keeps the topics and advice timely and relevant.

Cheyenne: I got this book while I was in college for a class. I didn't take it too seriously at first however I still have it and refer to it to this day. It takes on a more serious note with references and tools that you can use for a career in art if you want your work in galleries. Needless to say this feels more like an academic guide than a guide for everyone. I highly recommend this book if you wish to take on art in a serious academic sense, this is not a start your own art buisness or how to sell your art guide.

rachel_mumford: This book was recommended to me, and I'm so glad I purchased it! I've been reading art books, and reading business books, but there were so many gaps in my knowledge that I'd been trying to fill that these books did not cover. Specifically, I wanted to know how to run my art business better, what the deal was with grants, how to interact with clients, the money questions around selling my paintings and balancing my income, dealing with galleries, etc., and this book covered them all, and thoroughly, and in plain-speak. I purchased two others along the same lines, but after flipping through all of them, I dove into this one first. An excellent and informative book! Highly recommended!

Xandria: A very good overall review of the art world for working artists. An eye opening and sobering review. This should be compulsory reading for anyone going into the arts for a living.

Jon H. ThompsonJon H. Thompson: The focus of this book is not the doing of art but the business of art. If an artist considers his or her output as more than a hobby then the business of art becomes critical. For most artists this means getting work placed in a commercial gallery, something that is not always taught in school. The content of this book, written from the perspective of a gallery owner, is therefore advice worth taking. The tips are pragmatic and based on experience. My only complaint is the design and layout of the book. This is not an aesthetic issue but one of readability. The layout seems to be based on the notion that contemporary readers have a short attention span and are always ready to jump to something new. It also seems to assume that the reader is young with perfect eyesight. Page layout is of two types. Most pages have the narrative text in a column toward the binding with a more narrow outer column made up of quotes from those in the gallery business. This use of the sidebar is a good way to add specific bits of information related to the general narrative. However, for me, this results in a visually cramped page. In addition, the condensed sans serif font is 9 points in the narrative...
