The Art World Dream: Alternative Strategies for Working Artists

Rudd, a sculptor/mixed media artist, explains how the world of art really works and offers practical advice for artists and art students seeking recognition and resources. Ideally, the book will help readers “set up conditions where you can create art that will compete in quality with every big name you have ever studied.” The author founded and for 10 years directed the Contemporary Artists Center, a not-for- profit artists’ studio residency and exhibition facility.
