An artist must work to create the kind of world we all envision in trying times. Each artist has something to say and must accept the work it takes to get that message to the world. There are multiple avenues for artists to lend their voices to the global conversation, and part of your job is to find them. Each week, we offer a selection to get you started as you make opportunities a regular part of your professional practice.
