Further Information

More than half of artists are self-employed - about 7 times the proportion in all professional and related occupations.

Artists usually develop their skills through a bachelor's degree program or other postsecondary training in art or design.

Keen competition is expected for both salaried jobs and freelance work, because many talented people are attracted to the visual arts.
