Whether you are emerging or mid-career, the place of choice for your art practice matters. Should you hire a studio or work from home (the garage)? What forces will come into play in these different settings? Check out three women artists on their decision to make at home to learn more. Also, are you wondering what artists have on their studio playlist? ArtsHub spoke to five diverse artists with distinctively different practices to find out.
Zooming out of the studio, the city where you are basing your artistic practice can also contribute in different ways to your career path. Most often this may be the city where you graduated or where your family is based, but relocating can sometimes be a prompt for fresh creativity and new connections. In recent years, however, there has also been a strong wave of artists who consciously decide to stay or return to their home cities to cultivate the local arts ecology there.
