Read what David Ross said about my book below. David Ross is a writer and crtic and was the former Director of the Whitney Museum of American Art as well as other major museums. Read below.

“The global art world of the 21st century is increasingly complex, and hard-hearted. Tens of thousands of art school graduates and self-educated artists enter the scene every year, and in their own way, each wants to make a living from their work, while pursuing a meaningful career. The prospects for success are slim, yet the flow of new talent continues unabated.
In a remarkably useful guidebook for artists trying to find their way, the artist Brainard Carey has spelled out in a clear and concise manner, a series of strategies and techniques that, taken as a whole, are the equivilant of that elusive course in real-world preparedness that most art schools gloss over or simply ignore. In addition to his thoughtful and thorough approach to the subject, Carey's candor and complete lack of cynicism and posturing makes this book a must-read for any emerging artist.”

“When I started working with Brainard I had two main goals: getting my work exhibited in a museum and making money out of my conceptual art projects. It took eight months to achieve the first goal and a little over a year for the second. With a gentle and steady approach, Brainard helped me realize what was blocking me from achieving my goals and then he coached me to achieve them. ”

“I went to Brainard Carey looking for a mentor to help me find my way forward in my art career. He helped me plan and execute my first public art project, which led to a full page article in Time Out New York, a national TV news feature, and the confidence to create more projects on my own.”
