Artist Financial Considerations Post Graduation
Artist Specific Insurance* Hopefully you will find employment with a company or institution who will put you under their art insurance/health insurance policy, but if not, consider these for independent artists. Policies and rates vary for need based projects and focuses.
Materials/Supplies - Vary with Artistic Focus
* Save your receipts!!
* Shoot for the stars with your artistic passion and let’s break the ‘starving artist’ trope, but the reality is that most artists rely on their community/family for most of these financial considerations and also have a full time job whilst still doing their art. This is a general overview with a generic span for the actual financials that may or may not apply to you. If you can be scrappy, use the tools and connections that you have, then most of these you may even acquire for free or cheap. Let’s make some ‘good trouble’ and the world Better with Art!!
