What happens when young musicians, painters, photographers, actors and artists of all disciplines embark on a career in the creative sector? In many cases, they become self-described "starving artists". This podcast aims to end the vicious cycle by helping emerging talent learn from veterans in the field. Through live interviews with experienced artists, Jess Kaswiner asks questions about how these artists got their start, and what advice they have for young artists on the 'come up'. This bi-monthly podcast, offers timely, relevant advice to artist entrepreneurs across disciplines, demographics, and geographic locations. As Eric Booth states in 20UNDER40, "We are all emerging leaders, regardless of chronology. The pace of change in our culture and the stuckness of our field demand a new kind of leadership to accomplish the change required by our times." As a Chicagoan, arts administrator, and self-proclaimed culture-vulture, your host, Jess Kaswiner is dedicated to improving the vitality of the arts sector locally and nationally.
