"If you want to make a living as an artist, you better steal
everything you can from this book."
-Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like An Artist "Lisa Congdon has
managed to debunk the outdated and toxic notion that making money
and making art are diametrically opposed outcomes, attaining one of
which invariably compromises the other-a primary source of
crippling self-consciousness. She equips emerging artists with the
necessary tools-from the psychological to the practical-for
defining success by their own standards, then attaining it on their
own terms."
-Maria Popova, founder and editor, BrainPickings.org "Art, Inc. is
a revelation. At long last, there is a resource to help creative
people articulate their aesthetic values, successfully brand their
business, and manage their artist's income. Congdon insightfully
reveals everything it takes to create, build, and sustain a sound,
strategic, profitable practice. If you are just entering the field,
growing a young business, or nurturing a seasoned career, you will
be inspired and motivated by this brilliant new book by one of
today's most successful artists."
