What does success look like for artists in an age of disruption?

A dedicated visual arts symposium, MAKING: A living? explores the relationship between artists and their supporters – buyers, patrons, curators and promoters. The day-long discussion considers existing international and local solutions to the problem of making a living as an artist in an age of disruptive technologies causing rapid changes to the field and the swift ossification of old models.
 
The symposium brings together local, regional and international artists, arts professionals and experts from a range of industries. It considers artist-driven projects, models from other art forms and
industries and the opportunities provided by new platforms. The
conversations also delve into the local/global nexus and art
experiences made extraordinary through the agency of digital
communities.
