A Guide to Business Autonomy for Artists

by Amy Davila

Published by Atelier Éditions

What does an artist need to succeed? 

That’s the question posed by The ArtSmart Method author and consultant Amy Davila—one she answers by drawing on her 25 years of experience working in galleries and with arts organizations, and helping individual artists maintain an authentic, sustainable, and profitable practice: what she calls business autonomy.

Davila introduces creative minds to the three elements of the ArtSmart Triangle: support, money, and exposure, with clear, practical instructions for achieving these goals through a combination of strategy and self-awareness. Expressed with her characteristic empathy and industry knowledge, Davila distills her expertise into an indispensable handbook, offering artists at all levels an insightful combination of financial advice, business and career consulting, and guidance based on experience.

By buying the book you get access to create an online ArtSmart account, where you can download a suite of free, empowering tools for budgeting and tracking, the ArtSmart PeopleMap for organizing a professional network, and the ArtSmart Oracle for daily decision-making—everything you need to put the method into action.  

Be Brave. Be ArtSmart.
