One of the curious things about being an artist is that you spend a tremendous amount of time learning how to master your craft over the course of your creative life. Well, maybe you don't feel like you ever "master it." (1/1)

This book draws upon years of collective experience from performing artists actively working in the field. It is a tool built by artists for artists to thrive in the 21st century. (1/9) https://t.co/kzKID4DP0B

Still, there's a good chance you've put a ton of time into becoming incredibly skilled in the work you create. For me, that has been with the guitar. It has been and continues to be an incredible journey of curiosity, failure, success, and self-discovery. (1/2)

This FREE virtual textbook breaks down the process of building, articulating, and funding a creative project, from the inception of an idea to the moment you press submit for a grant proposal. (1/8)

What if we shared the tools and approaches that have helped hundreds of artists create projects, find funding, and help them advocate for their work? (1/6)

As my colleagues and I have continued this work, I wondered: What would happen if we opened this up beyond the walls of Peabody? (1/5)

[Zane Forshee @ZaneForshee]

A lot of this work is about helping artists understand who they are, what they value, and working with them to discover how they can develop a life that creates space to grow artistically for the long-term: not weeks or months-- decades. (1/5)

[Zane Forshee @ZaneForshee]

Over the past few years, I've been fortunate enough to develop courses @george_peabody that address a number of these gaps in artistic training and created an office #peabodylaunchpad to support students and alumni as they make the leap from student to working artist. (1/4)

[Zane Forshee @ZaneForshee]

There's a gap....a REALLY, REALLY big gap for artists to navigate. If you want more insights into that gap, check out the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project -- strap in friends -- its eye opening. (1/4)

[Zane Forshee @ZaneForshee]

At the same time the part that flummoxed me and many other artists that I know is how to build a sustainable life as a creative person. There's far less emphasis in our artistic training on how to survive as artists. (1/3)
