Contrary to popular belief, artists don't have to live in poverty. This misconception is often based on the life of Van Gogh. The reality is that nearly all artists need a steady job within the arts field to make ends meet. Therefore, the kind of artist you choose to be will shape your income.
1. As a Graphic Designer, you'll work for a company, creating logos and advertisements. While you may start with a salary close to the minimum wage, regular pay increases can take your earnings up to $80,000 or more.
2. If you're a Fine Arts gallery-artist, you'll create your own masterpieces, with the gallery taking half of the selling price. Many gallery artists also teach part-time to secure health care and other benefits. You could earn between $30,000 to $60,000.
3. As a Conceptual Artist, you'll design large-scale projects with a social message. You'll likely receive grants from state, federal, or city sources. Many conceptual artists also work full time at a university, which can make it easier to secure grants. You could earn between $60,000 to $100,000. However, this path requires not only artistic talent but also strong writing and public speaking skills.
All these roles typically require college degrees:
1. For Graphic Design, you'll need a Bachelor's degree (4 years) from a private college.
2. As a Gallery Artist, you don't need a degree to exhibit in a gallery, but a Master's degree (6 years) is required if you want to teach.
3. For Conceptual Art, a Master's degree is the minimum requirement, but having a Doctorate degree (8+ years) can increase your success rate with grants.
