Practical, real, encouraging,
Brainard Carey’s “Art Mentor” emails were the most encouraging, relevant and practical art advice I have ever received. He is an invaluable resource when it comes to thinking beyond the canvas or the conventional. It is because of his ideas and perspective (be courageous, simply ask, develop relationships and community) that I launched a non-profit arts collective specifically targeting an ignored demographic. A year later we boast a small membership of 30 to 50 national and international dynamic females over the age of 40, we have a growing social media following and we have a familiar name within our Los Angeles arts community.
I don’t think I would have had the courage, or downright audacity to what I am doing (and rather successfully) had I not had access to Brainard Carey. I believe his ideas and advice are some of the best and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any artist at any level of their career. It truly is a must have for you library.

|Available resource,
I have yet to work with Brainard directly, but to have an open resource like this is godsend. It’s helpful to have something that’s easily accessible, especially for an emerging artist such as myself. A lot of questions were answered, sound encouragement given, and I look forward to seeing more fruits from my progress.

Brainard Carey is that rarity in the art world: someone who knows how to sell himself without selling out. The key is Carey’s imagination, perseverance, and genuine enthusiasm, which shine through this book. He offers the encouragement AND the practical advice that will help you move yourself and your art to wider exposure and real success. Unlike many other artists, he’s not embarrassed about the concept of making money–in fact, artists are the ones who SHOULD be making the money! But there’s no question that public and financial success requires you to put yourself out there, over and over. Artists MUST learn how to market themselves well–it has become part of the job of being an artist. And this is where Carey shines. It’s not just what he says but how he says it; he’s a great model for marketing yourself while BEING yourself. Although I’m a musician, not a visual artist, after a friend recommended this book I was inspired to launch a Kickstarter.com campaign to make an album–and I raised over $6,000! Carey’s words helped get me off my rear. I recommend this book to artists of ALL types.
