Do visual Art Careers Pay?<\/h2>\n

Based on a US Bureau of Statistics<\/a> survey (2010-11), full time work as an Art Director definitely\u00a0pays. As recent as 2008, median annual wages for salaried Art Directors reached a high of\u00a0$77,000. Moreover, for salaried fine artists (including painters, sculptors and illustrators), median annual\u00a0wages were lower at $43,000. Relatively speaking, however, craft artist median salaries were the\u00a0lowest at $29,000. What about for related jobs where Visual Art represents as a job skill (See\u00a0Chart below)?<\/p>\n

For Animators and Multi-Media Artists, medium annual wages were $56,000.\u00a0Interestingly, the US Bureau survey was inconclusive for the self-employed artist, where annual\u00a0earnings for this group were shown to vary widely.\u00a0So, in short, for a Visual Art Graduate, it pays to be the boss and\/or to apply your skills in a\u00a0broader context. However, if you plan to be your own boss, then fulfill your education
\nrequirements and do your job because you love it!<\/p>\n

Practicing Visual Art: As a Profession or as a Job Skill?<\/h2>\n

Graduating with a Visual Art degree broadens your options for finding long-term, progressive\u00a0employment. Simply speaking, you can apply your skills to many disciplines. However, it can be\u00a0a matter of focus. The following table depicts professional and related jobs that are suitable for the\u00a0Virtual Art Graduate.<\/p>\n

\"Visual<\/a><\/p>\n

Visual Art is in Demand<\/h2>\n

According to the 2010 Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, competition for jobs was expected to\u00a0be strong for both salaried and freelance opportunities in all art specialties, since (at that time)\u00a0interest in a Visual Art career was expected to exceed the number of available openings. Today,\u00a0we can presume the status quo has remained the same. However, when viewed in the context of\u00a0applying Visual Art either as a profession or as a job skill (for a related profession), Visual Art\u00a0graduates can feel confident of finding meaningful employment growth and work environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
