“It is up to the next generation of artists to create a landscape which adjusts its power to favor the artist.” -Emily McElwreath
The Art Career LLC is an interactive ecosystem providing emerging artists and arts entrepreneurs with educational content and career opportunities. Through a combination of online courses, multimedia libraries, podcast and memberships, The Art Career will teach artists and arts entrepreneurs how to contextualize their work through a business lens. This multifaceted online arts platform will cater to the individual needs of its varied participants. The platform, which will offer a unique opportunity for artists, will also help to develop a strong market for collectors to engage with and to grow their collections.
We recognize the power of connecting emerging artists and arts entrepreneurs to their counterparts in the art world; this side steps the current market cycles, which separates young professionals from establishing their brand and connecting with their collector base. With The Art Career not only educating artists but also helping artists sell their work at a large scale, interest, dialogue, and financial contributions to contemporary art at an international scale becomes an indisputable long-term opportunity. The Art Career will ensure that young professionals invest in themselves and in turn, the art market will profit.
