Words of the Wise

“What was the one thing you wish you would have known before becoming an independent artist?” is the founding question for this web series. Every month we will pick a new topic to cover that will help young artists better prepare for a career in the arts. We hope this series can help you open doors in your future as paid artists.

Words of the Wise is a monthly web series for individuals pursuing a career in the arts. Through interviews with working professionals, Words of the Wise provides a wealth of knowledge and advice for beginning artists so that they can learn from the experience of experts.

Discussing everything from taxes, race, self-advocacy, to what it looks like to be an independent contractor (and more!), Words of the Wise aspires to make sure that artists know their rights and have the know-how to be successful in the creative industry.
