Artists still struggle to make ends meet |
|
WASHINGTON (AP)
Students earning degrees in pharmacy this year (1997) can expect job
offers at $51,414 a year. Chemical engineers are getting an average
$42,450. But artists?
Every spring , 5,000 to 10,000 aspiring Picassos and
Michelangelos emerge with degrees in fine arts from American colleges.
Many face the same problem: how to eat regularly.
"They mostly have to go into business for
themselves," said Dawn Traub of the National Association of
Colleges and Employers, which keeps job offer statistics.
"The are no real job opportunities,"
adds William Barrett, executive director of the Association of
Independent Colleges of Art and Design in San Francisco.

"Nobody is going to hire you
to be a sculptor." At the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C.,
one of the country's oldest and best known, the whole faculty tries to
find students jobs that have at least some relationship to art -- even
if it is just as a guard in a museum.
They do not always succeed. Some new "bachelors
of fine arts" wait on tables.
A few have hired out as house sitters.
Some graduates teach. The College Art Association in
New York carried 1,004 help ads in its magazine. The advertising manager
says most were teaching jobs
ED. NOTE - The career outlook for creative
artists has not improved since this dismal 1997 newspaper report.

The Independent Professional Fine Artist
IPFA Definition: One who earns most or all of his or her
living from the sale of original art and art services.
As an IPFA, they
do not need a side job in order to make it financially. They not only do
not need a side job, they may not want any parts of a
job...that
is, as an employee working for someone other than themselves. An IPFA may,
however, teach art or work at some
select side job or project that is of special
interest to them...something they decide they want to do for the sheer joy of
doing it.
Does this sound like something you want? What are your goals...passions? Where
do you want to go?
How are you going to get
there? If having the freedom to earn
your living doing what you love to do is of interest, either
the evening
workshop or one-day
seminar will point you in the right direction and give you
an emotional boost and solid
guidance that will serve you for the rest
of your
life.
Do it now...take control of your art career
& life!
