Most artists are self-employed. The career outlook for this field is poor. Employment of artists is expected to grow much slower than the average for all occupations through the year 2005. The supply of fine artists will greatly exceed the demand and competition is expected to be keen. Opportunities will be best for those who display outstanding talent, creativity, and style or who specialize in more than one art form of art.
Many artists are self-employed and sell their works to stores, art galleries, and museums.
