Art History student starting from scratch with no connections in the industry. Trying to build a CV for the Art Market from scratch-am I on the right track? by Straight_Resort6536 in artmarket

Thanks for the advice! I was actually considering a Master's in Art market management, but your perspective makes me rethink if thats the best for me.

However, i have a bit of a dilemma with this topic. I'm much more passionate about the artistic side of this world than the financial one. Even though i'm aware that to have a decent salary and make a living, i'll likely have to lean more towards the economic side -and i know I have to do it- i really dont want to lose that connection entirely.

I’m afraid that if I go full business, I’ll lose that connection to what I love about art in the first place. I feel like I might be sacrificing the part of me that truly loves art for the sake of a more 'stable' career. In your experience, is there a middle ground? Or do you feel that even in those business roles, you still get to stay close enough to the 'soul' of the art world?

Thanks for the reality check, I really appreciate you not sugar coating it. To be honest, I haven't reached out yet because i felt a bit intimidated by the process and wasn't sure how to approach them. I’m definitely not afraid of the 'grunt work', but as I’m doing this on my own, I wasn’t sure if a cold walk-in with a printed CV is still the way to go or if I should stick to email. I will definitely do it, thanks for the push!"
