Contributing confidently

Successful artists are constantly researching their practice and preparing thoroughly so that they

• can talk about their work and themselves,
• know their direction,
• know their audience and
• have an understanding of their creative potential.

Artists need to actively join the profession through

• contact with other artists,
• engaging in regular dialogue about their work and
• creating networks of people who can help them to develop themselves and their work.
