A pocket-sized career guide for emerging artists, The Artist's Roadmap is an essential primer for anyone wishing to discover what underpins a professional practice within this field.

Being an artist is challenging. Not only are the skills difficult to master, but there is no single route to success: all artistic careers are different. Authored by the founders of Delphian Gallery – an artist-run nomadic gallery and arts platform – The Artist’s Roadmap charts the complex geography of the contemporary art world, revealing what goes on behind the exhibition display and in the curator’s office in a compassionately frank discussion of what professional practice means today and the commercial aspects of being an artist.

Rich in practical guidance, The Artist’s Roadmap positions early-career artists for those rare moments of opportunity that could define their career, whilst providing them with the tools and know-how to forge their own path to success. Grounded and well informed, this guide addresses everything from approaching galleries and understanding representation to the nuts and bolts of artistic business, such as tax, shipping and insurance. At a time where artists are increasingly forced to hide the realities of their practice behind tight-lipped press releases and marketable mystique, The Artist’s Roadmap is refreshingly honest and an essential primer for any aspiring artist.
