Based on 20 years as a working artist and a decade of work with artists locally and nationally, Making Your Life as an Artist by Andrew Simonet looks at why artists’ lives are so punishing, and how we can build balanced, sustainable lives.
I want to share this external resource with everyone as this was given as a bit of professional guidance by a brilliant mentor, Lucy Day as part of my R&D before founding the IW Creative Network. This really struck a chord with me and I hope others will find it just as helpful. Really helps with goal planning/mapping & achieving!
Andrew Simonet is a choreographer, writer, and founder of Artist U, a grassroots planning and professional development program for artists. He co-directed Headlong Dance Theater from 1993 to 2013.
