Well, being an artist involves a lot more than just making art. There's also a business side, time management, reading, and lots and lots of writing (yes, even after you graduate). You also need to have good communication skills, meet other artists and stay up to date on contemporary work.
Fortunately, there's lots of ways to get connected and move toward your goals. One great way to get going is to get involved with PhotoAlliance. Photo Alliance is a non-profic organization that promotes photography and organizes all sorts of fun things to do: workshops, lectures, portfolio reviews, etc.
Sign up for the PhotoAlliance email list to stay up to date. You can also join me for a PhotoAlliance lecture at SFAI next week. Come early and check out the view, SFAI's galleries and the famous Diego Rivera Mural. Follow the link for a full description:
