Canadian Arts Jobs – 08/14/12

August 14, 2012 in Jobs by Desirée Ossandon

Hello!

I’m regularly asked by CAC readers “how to get started” in one area of the arts or another, whether it be related to education, career, techniques, or other aspects of art.

One specific question I hear is how to start an art collection.

I’m asked if people should buy art because of the value of the piece or fame of the artist. I’m asked it people should start with small pieces, then move on to more daring examples. I’m asked for any advice on how to make smart purchases and good investments.

I’m curious how our community of artistic professionals (and art enthusiasts) began their own collections.

How did you start your own art collection?

How do you decide what you yourself buy and display?

Have a wonderful day!

Desirée

Hello!

In our staff meeting yesterday, we discussed how June always seems to be a particularly busy month and how that leads to the need to sometimes scale back for the remaining summer months.

Do you take time off during July and/or August? Or perhaps adjust your schedule to summer hours?

I’d love to hear your answers in the comments after you check out the great list of jobs I have for you below.

Have a wonderful day!
