Reviews
“Daniel Grant’s Artist’s Guide is a clearly written and admirably candid introduction to a subject too often shrouded in mythology, euphemism and evasion. My guess is that it will be useful not only to newcomers to the New York art scene but even to some veterans of the art world who are still trying to figure out how the system works.”
—Hilton Kramer, editor, The New Criterion
"Daniel Grant offers a realistic account of the challenges and opportunities available in a city that is a mecca for artists. As always, he provides useful resources and contact information that are invaluable to the visual artist. Get ready to dog-ear several pages, this book will serve you well."
—Maryellen Schroeder, director of Office of Career Services, Massachusetts College of Art
“Every artists who has come to New York from another place, whether from another state or another country, remembers those first months or even years vividly as a period of testing and challenge like no other. Needless to say, when I made the decision of come here from the Midwest in 1968, there was no guide like Daniel Grant’s The Artist’s Guide to Making It in New York. If there had been, it might have smoothed over some of those endless bumps in the road as I attempted to get from A to B. I don’t mean the Avenues of that name, but I refer to the bare necessities of finding shelter, work space, materials and a way of making a living to subsidize one’s art career. What we had was a rather crude and inefficient word of mouth network in and out of the art community. Here one can shorten the constant search for information that will get the artist what he or she needs to survive in the constantly challenging and changing metropolis that was then and still is the center of the art world.”
—Richard Haas, muralist
