Living and Sustaining a Creative Life

Sharon Louden is an active artist and passionate advocate for artists. The author of two critically acclaimed books, “Living and Sustaining a Creative Life: Essays by 40 Working Artists” and the follow-up volume, “The Artist as Culture Producer: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life,” she wants to foster a community of artists who seek the well-being of each other. She reminds artists and non creatives alike that artists are integral to society, that their paths through life are varied, rich, and important. As Louden points out, contrary to stereotypes, artists aren’t hidden away working, they are on the front lines of education, the nonprofit sector, and corporate environments where they provide measurable and innovative outcomes.
