Stable income built around your life & creative practice.
The Artist at Work LLC is an East Coast US-based firm founded by theatremaker and career coach Angele Maraj and specifically designed to support people who make art.
We help artists of all disciplines and backgrounds to build realistic income diversification plans that acknowledge the true economics of art-making alongside the realities of their lives.
Income diversification that protects your peace and your practice.
Say no to the "survival job"!
We'll help you map the income patterns that work for you as an artist: residencies, teaching, portfolio-based contracts, and flexible hybrid arrangements; then, we'll teach you to leverage your many transferable skills toward the opportunities that are right for you.
Structured guidance for every layer of a working artist's life.
