This note from an emerging artist speaks eloquently for so many working artists who contact us looking for solutions:
"I'm excited and a little nervous about diving head-first into my art career, but it is my dream come true. I haven't made a lot of money yet, or have all my art work perfected but I figure the A.C.T. course will help get me started in the right way. My only gripe in my art career is that after spending all that money getting my B.A., none of the University courses taught me how to treat art as a serious career. All the courses were geared towards working for other people and not being a successful self -employed artist. It was kind of embarrassing that I have a degree but no idea on how to market my art, price my art, or make my artwork into fine art prints. So, that's why I'm here. I need a lot of help!"
