Podcast – Why More Artists Need to Study Business

Artists contribute much creativity to society, but business acumen may not be their forte. Paying for health care and business insurance, saving for retirement and recovering from disasters can be tough to handle for artists without traditional jobs. To gain insight into new financial models for them, Knowledge@Wharton tapped two experts: Jenifer Simon, director of programs and outreach at CERF+, a nonprofit that helps provide artists with a financial safety net; and Gizem Saka, an artist who is also a senior lecturer at Wharton. They offered their thoughts on the Knowledge@Wharton show, which airs on Wharton Business Radio on SiriusXM channel 111, as part of a content collaboration with Orangenius, a firm that helps artists develop business skills.
