Artists are becoming increasingly busy, challenged by the need to juggle the demands of studio time, social networks, part time jobs, and the rigors of everyday life. In the final session of AHL Foundation’s online Mentoring Workshop Program, acclaimed artist Jung Hyang Kim (Daru) will discuss how to find the proper work-life balance, diversify one’s portfolio, and navigate the tenacity of the ever-evolving contemporary art world in order to become the artist you want to be. Drawing on her decades of international experience in the contemporary art world, Daru will delve into ways to network with galleries and art consultants and how to branch out into public art commissions, imparting several important pieces of advice for aspiring contemporary artists along the way.
