And who doesn't get to? Written with clarity, and grounded in data, \u003ci\u003eArtists at Work\u003c\/i\u003e offers an eye-opening look at what it truly means to build a career as an artist today. Joanna Woronkowicz examines how artists navigate unique challenges in America's creative economy, from unpredictable job markets to evolving copyright laws and public funding constraints. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWoronkowicz exposes current public policy as patchwork, and susceptible to changes in the political climate. Such fragile infrastructure only exacerbates race- and class-based inequalities that exist in the art world. Remaking this system requires a deeper understanding of creative labor. By shining a light on today's artists-who they are, how they train, and what they do-Woronkowicz emphasizes both that artists are not unlike other workers, and also that policies have not been designed with their unique employment behaviors in mind. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn spite of the very real challenges facing artists, there is good reason to be optimistic. Concluding with several targeted recommendations for reforms, this book is a timely and critical guide for anyone invested in supporting the future of the arts, and artists, in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Woronkowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503636402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503636408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Joanna Woronkowicz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825949135103,"sku":"9781503636408","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eaf126b2-3ddf-46c9-942a-b8af1b7f6a0f.jpg?v=1746074114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artists-at-work-joanna-woronkowicz-9781503636408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
