Debtfair

I am fortunate to have had a successful career selling art at art fairs for the last 15 years. In the last few years art fairs have changed drastically, in part, I believe, because of how technology has changed the way people collect art and the fact that art fairs are now often corporate sponsored). I have had to expand my art practice to include teaching and creating a non-profit that can apply for grants/donations. The transition and amount of work required to establish a school has severely impacted the amount of time i spend making art (from 10-12/hrs a day to 20 hours a week) and my ability to generate income. In a good year I would gross $80,000 at art fairs. That has diminished to $25,000/year. I am certain that teaching will not be as lucrative, but I believe it will provide a basic steady income and I am optimistic that It will eventually lead to other opportunities.
