The Definition Of An Indie Artist

By Edward Harris


When it comes to independence, it can often be difficult when it comes to making a living. For, most individuals start out working for others, whether as a high school or college graduate. While this is the case, there are some ways to experience more freedom, one of which is becoming an indie artist.

In most cases, these are individuals whom can participate in some aspect of the entertainment arts without an education or degree in that area. For, the individual creates original art, whether that be related to art installations and projects, music, photography poetry, sculpture or other areas. While some people have found instant stardom with music by appearing on shows such as American Idol or The Voice, most fade from sight over time.

These individuals are people whom have a drive to move ahead in the business by making the right choices. In addition, to be an independent artist means that the individual is responsible for all creation, production and promotion of projects related to art, music, sculpture or poetry. Whereas, most of these individuals see no need to ask permission or seek approval from anyone to display or perform work.

In most cases, these individuals rarely have a full or part-time job, and live on a limited income of proceeds from piece work and art projects. While this is the case, most are more than happy to do so. For, being independent includes having the freedom to work on projects as desired.

When it comes poets, there are many whom attend National or International Poetry festivals each year. In doing so, the individuals often has a chance perform in front of other poets and spoken word fans as a feature. Whereas, there are often poetry slams at which individuals can perform in hopes of winning money. For those not comfortable with competition, there are often areas in which poets can also sell a number of poetry related products such as books and CDs.

The best artists practice a craft or crafts on a daily basis. Acquiring feedback from trusted critics and other individuals is extremely important to these individuals. For, the information provided can work to help improve future projects. As such, feedback, whether positive or negative often has an impact on these individuals.

In most areas, there are classes and workshops in different areas of arts and entertainment. For, while a degree is not required to become an independent artist, it can often pay to gain knowledge, insight and experience from others in the art world. In some cases, just attending a one-day class in a particular discipline can benefit individuals desiring to become successful independent artists.

In all cases, independent artists find methods of creating work without the assistance of others. For example, there are musicians which have agents, managers and merchandising staff. When an individual is an indie musician or spoken word artist, the individual handles all of these areas. While this is the case, there may be times when some identifying as independent artists obtain support from volunteers with regards to advertising and merchandising such as handing out handbills, or staffing a merchandise table at a gig.
