Many of the articles were originally created for TheArtBiz.com. The articles are primarily geared to artists working in the visual, media, and design arts, but also applicable to performing and literary artists. These articles appear on NYFA Interactive as a courtesy of the Abigail Rebecca Cohen Library.

These articles might help you ask better questions in your TALK assignment where You, the Art Curator will interview an artist of your choice.
