How to be a multi-media artist and earn a living while keeping a civil service career?

We Answered:

I totally want to tell you - I have a friend who is a gifted writer. He works in government. I see him in the cafe lots of times on weekends. I ask him how he is doing and he says 'great! - thanks to my federally funded arts program!'

He sees his job as a platform that makes it possible for him to pursue his true passion.

Many people have two parts of their lives that each help and support the other - they are by no means mutually exclusive.

I have seen people who quit their means of support and put total pressure on their creativity - alot of times the creativity suffers because they are so stressed to find ways to get by. They also tend to compromise their creative vision, because if it isnt appealing to a mass-market (or a specific agent) they will not eat. It kind of prostitutes the art.

I have seen other people neglect finding ways to support their art - they are called servers and housepainters (no disrespect, but we are talking intermittent work, poor pay and no benefits or security).

So please - respect your 'government funded arts grant' and get started on your art!!

Hints for getting started: Make a studio space; rent a shared space with other artists where you only pay for the times you use it (in your case evenings and weekends); take a community college studio art class - not because you need it, but because it puts you around other artists for fixed times, in a studio space, often with models, etc.

Goooooood Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The primary goal of Civil Services is to provide services to the public. Working for the Civil Service is both a challenging and fulfilling career. The range of opportunities provided is very large.
The Civil Service encourages people to pursue their career goals, whether this be to move up the career ladder or to change their career completely. New opportunities arise constantly and you have the flexibility to develop your own career path.
