Description - The Essential Guide to Business for Artists and Designers by Alison Branagan

Between 60,000 and 100,000 graduates from various art courses come out of UK colleges each year. They have been trained in art but when it comes to making a living out of it, they tend to be woefully unprepared for how to go about supporting themselves and making a living out of it. This book is a comprehensive business start up book and a practical enterprise skills guide that should appeal to a wide range of artists. Specific topics that are covered include: self-employment v. employment; starting up a business; funding and sponsorship; building networks; self-promotion; legal issues and creative crime; negotiation tactics and contracts; records, taxes and basic bookkeeping; trading via the internet, innovation and future trends. All in all, this is a thorough guide for all budding artists who want to start up a business.
