Artists In The Workforce Study

National Endowment for the Arts Announces New
Artists In The Workforce Study

The NEA study looked at Artist trends for the years 1990 - 2005. This is the first ever study of working trends for Artist of all levels. The report profiles 11 artist occupations, including actors; announcers; architects; art directors, fine artists and animators; dancers and choreographers; designers; entertainers and performers; musicians; photographers; producers and directors; writers and authors.

“Artists now play a huge but mostly unrecognized role in the new American economy of the 21st century,” said NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. “This report shows how important American artists are to both our nation’s cultural vitality and economic prosperity of our communities.”

Painting Buddy

Pastel Pointers by Richard McKinley

Richard shares his importance of a Painting Buddy.

Now I like to socialize and be around others, but some times in order to get my right brain to kick in, I need to work alone. But having a buddy can get the creative juices flowing, get your piece started and then take it to your studio to work on it.

Or your Painting Buddy can help you with a creative block and get you past it so you can finish your piece.  I have a few buddies who help me with that.

“By planning to work together, we know someone else is relying on us. It is a commitment, forcing us to show up and paint instead of letting life’s little distractions get in the way.”

I agree! If I didn’t leave the house to work on my art, I would have no art to look at, show, or to sell.  Then I wouldn’t be able to call myself an artist either.

A Painting Buddy is a good buddy. Call your buddy today and start painting.
