about art for artists
On the 25th May 2018 - in less than 60 days - The General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect. It affects everyone and every organisation having data transactions with individuals who live/work in the European Union. This blog post is about resources I've been trying to pull together about GDPR - for artists and art organisations - societies, charities, schools, galleries etc. This means it INCLUDES:
NEW PAGE Today I'm launching my new resource page about General Data Protection Regulation for Artists and Art Organisations. - which is very much a work in progress. You can find it in the Office Practices section of the website. The art organisations include: art societies, art galleries, art dealers and art schools. Previously, I've written two long blog posts on Making A Mark:
The NEW PAGE includes links to useful resources not included in the blog post and builds upon what I've previously written. I'm still looking and still finding new resources which might be helpful - but you may have to do a lot of reading. RECOMMENDATION: Besides the links to the publications and resources produced by the Information Commission (first section), the section I'd suggest people take a look at is that relating to Issues for Art Organisations. It includes a very useful document written by The Arts Society providing guidance to its branch societies. I'm also hoping to develop a section for "Artists as Sole Traders". The one thing I have discovered is that more and more information is being published the closer we get to 25th May - and it's likely that a lot more will emerge as issues are tested in the courts thereafter. Bottom line - this is a live issue for anybody who is creating transactions involving the personal data of anybody living in the EU.

Like you I'm just trying to work my way through the maze of online information about GDPR. You are also not my client and I do not know your individual circumstances - meaning I have no liability to you in any circumstances should you choose to rely on any of the materials on this blog or website - although whatever is published by the ICO should be more authoritative than most!

The talk is for all those who want to get on top of their tax affairs before any omissions or errors catch up with them!
This page tells you where Heatherley's is and how to get to it by car and public transport. [UPDATE: This new section and this blog post have been revised since first published] Back in August I indicated I was developing a new section for the Art Business Info for Artists website. I've now published the NEW SECTION page which I'm calling PRACTICE as shorthand in the main menu. However it's full title is PRACTICE - How to be a successful artist - and it's about what else you need to do to become successful besides making art! I'm grouping content into three areas - outlined below and publishing contents as I finish each new section. Live links are shown in red Business Habits

This post provides a quick briefing on what it's about. They both focus on why artists need to be more than just talented artists in order to succeed and survive in the art world and what they need to know and do. All quotations are from the article unless otherwise stated. Traditionally, the artist was seen as this type of person who was aloof or being unaware of the real world. It gave them some X-factor. But not anymore, because there are more than 2 million artists in the U.S., and they have to survive somehow. According to data, we know that only 40% of them will remain as working artists within five years, and only 10% of them will persist in the long run. The participants are:
