"The Artist's Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love" book signing on Wednesday


This Wednesday, July 1, at 5:30 the Bronx Museum of the Arts will have a book signing event for Jackie Battenfield, author of The Artist’s Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love.




The comprehensive handbook coincides with Living and Dreaming, the 29th annual Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) exhibition, featuring the works of 36 emerging artists; and in fact Ms. Battenfield was the AIM Program Leader for 15 years.



Ms. Battenfield is a practicing artist and teaches professional development classes at Columbia University and the Creative Capital Foundation. Her book The Artist’s Guide provides the tools and techniques for developing and sustaining a successful art career. She provides answers to the challenges artists face everyday and includes real-life examples, illustrations, step-by-step exercises, and bulleted lists that allow readers to dive in and begin working immediately.


During this event visitors will also be able to see the AIM 29 Living & Dreaming exhibition.

If you’re taking the BCA Culture Torlley, it picks passengers up at Longwood Art Gallery at Hostos (near the 149 St-Grand Concourse station) at 5:30pm.


Admission is free. For more information, please visit www.bronxmuseum.org
