— Career infrastructure for artists

Stable income built around your life & creative practice.

The Artist at Work is an East Coast US-based solo consulting firm founded by interdisciplinary theatremaker and certified Career Services Provider (GCDF, CCSP) Angele Maraj.

My coaching philosophy and services are specifically designed to support creative practitioners in need of a better work-life-art (and bank $$$) balance.

/ YOU HAVE OPTIONS

Income diversification that protects your peace and your practice.

Say "no more!" to the survival job.

I'll help you map the income patterns that work for you as an artist: residencies, teaching, portfolio-based contracts, and flexible hybrid work arrangements in "bridge" industries you may not have considered;

Then, I'll teach you to how to more effectively leverage your many transferable skills toward the opportunities that are right for you.

Ready to map out a plan that actually fits your priorities?

The first conversation is all about you and your situation: your creative discipline(s), your current income source(s), the communities and values that are most central to your life, and what creative protection looks like for you.
