Book Launch: ‘What they didn't teach you in Art School'

Published by Octopus Books.

What they Didn’t Teach you in Art School is a meditation on what it is to thrive long term as an artist; giving tools to empower and encourage artists to be inventive and entrepreneurial in their careers and manage the many aspects of what it means to be an artist in the 21st Century.

From writing your first proposal to gallery representation and dealing with the pressures of a career and commercial success, this enlightening, no-nonsense book provides all the advice, real-world experience, and inspiration you need to survive and thrive as an artist. ‘What they didn’t teach you in art school’ is not written as a criticism of art education but as an accompaniment to it and we have gathered a range of voices from Art World professionals; curators, writers, galleries and role model artists to give insight and knowledge from their own experiences, specialisms and perspectives.
