Most artists would rather focus on art than struggle with the details of a business plan. Now, they can. Based on artist and teacher Cay Lang's popular seminars, Taking the Leap teaches artists how to succeed in today's complex and competitive art world. Offering inside information on how to show at galleries, nonprofit spaces, and museums, as well as a host of nontraditional venues, this behind-the-scenes look at the art world reveals how decisions are made and what artists can expect. Lang explains how to master efficient business skills such a negotiating a deal; making the most of art events, trips, presentations, and phone calls; and preparing top-notch promotional materials such as slides, bios, statements, and cover letters. Including many examples of artists who've found inventive alternatives to the gallery system, she suggests ways artists can by-pass mainstream channels and create their own art scene on their own terms. Filled with joy and encouragement, Taking the Leap recreates the energy and enthusiasm Lang evokes in her classroom and makes it available to artists everywhere.

The one downside to this book, and it’s a big one as far as I’m concerned, is the lack of an update to the 1998 edition regarding photography. Everything in this book is geared toward film SLRs, not digital. I found myself wondering what the best procedures are now that just about everything is digital. She warns against sending “CD-ROMs” because not all museums and galleries have the capability to view them. This can’t be right in 2010.
While a lot of the book doesn’t apply to me, and may never, I still appreciated how it helped me define some things regarding my personal approach to my art. Despite the antiquity of some of the technical information, it’s a great book to have and keep in your office as you wend your way through the world of art on the path towards getting your own show and earning money from your art.
