When Living and Sustaining a Creative Life was published in 2013,
it became an immediate sensation. Edited by Sharon Louden, the book
brought together forty essays by working artists, each sharing
their own story of how to sustain a creative practice that
contributes to the ongoing dialogue in contemporary art. The book
struck a nerve - how do artists really make it in the world today?
Louden took the book on a sixty-two-stop book tour, selling
thousands of copies, and building a movement along the way. Now,
Louden returns with a sequel: forty more essays from artists who
have successfully expanded their practice beyond the studio and
become change agents in their communities. There is a misconception
that artists are invisible and hidden, but the essays here
demonstrate the truth - artists make a measurable and innovative
economic impact in the non-profit sector, in education and in
corporate environments. The Artist as Culture Producer illustrates
how today's contemporary artists add to creative economies through
out-of-the-box thinking while also generously contributing to the
well-being of others. By turns humorous, heartbreaking and
instructive, the testimonies of these forty diverse working artists
will inspire and encourage every reader - from the art student to
the established artist. With a foreword by Hyperallergic co-founder
and editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian, The Artist as Culture Producer
is set to make an indelible mark on the art world - redefining how
we see and support contemporary artists. Louden's worldwide book
tour begins in March 2017. More information and tour dates can be
found online at www.livesustain.org.
