Creative conversations – The business of making and selling art
Description
‘Dreaming is such an important thing. You have to have space to imagine what something could be.’
Carving out the time and space to imagine and ideate is crucial for all business leaders. The development and growth of their companies depend on it.
And for contemporary artist Ramesh Nithiyendran, finding time to ‘daydream’ is only possible with the strong infrastructure he’s built around himself and his practice.
Across the first decade of his professional career, Ramesh built a successful art practice by treating it like a startup - reinvesting profits, building infrastructure, and thinking carefully about his brand. He peels back the curtain of the creative industries, talking everything from seeking funding and finding an accountant, to what it means to build a sustainable creative business while maintaining your artistic vision.
