\"How<\/p>\n

As with most conversations about money, understanding how artists fund their practices and lives is rarely discussed and always of intrigue. Mason Currey<\/a>\u00a0dives into this underexplored topic in his new book Making Art and Making a Living: Adventures in Funding a Creative Life.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Currey is known for documenting the day-to-day routines<\/a> of hundreds of artists, writers, filmmakers, designers, musicians, and more. Making Art and Making a Living<\/a><\/em> is in the same vein, revealing how family money, day jobs, schemes, and more have buoyed artists through the ages.<\/p>\n

\u200bIn partnership with EXPO Chicago and the Chicago Athletic Association, we\u2019re thrilled to celebrate the launch of Currey\u2019s new book. Join us<\/a> on April 8 for a discussion and signing by the author. Tickets include a hardcover copy, and Colossal Members<\/a>\u00a0receive $10 off with the code in their account.<\/p>\n
