Are We Teaching Artists to Fail?* “I recently did an informal survey of artists who have participated in “business of art” workshops, classes and lectures around the country to get an idea of what was being taught and how it was received. This included schools and universities, nonprofit organizations and individuals who offer these courses or workshops. What I found was not a surprise, but was so lopsided in terms of how we train artists about professional practices that it made me wonder if we are teaching our artists to fail.” Karen Atkinson
