On How to grow artists?

Abstract

My thesis processes a young artists’ awakening, training, and obstacles the artist encounters when graduating from school. In my thesis I try to answer the question: Why is it so difficult for the artist to successfully build a career? Answering the question I present, I conclude that alongside the lack of possibilities to find employment, the artist himself is the greatest obstacle in building a career. Some of the responsibility is naturally with the education itself. The Novia BA level students’ education should take the career after graduation into greater consideration and invest to a larger extent into training for this.
