ESTABLISHING MY ART or ARTS PRACTICE AS A BUSINESS What does this mean for other arts or creative ventures ? Professional Standards may not be judged by an individual of a group but by the market So in some cases judgement will be by the market Issues of standards will be measured by the market in terms of demand for the product/s Some creative ventures will however try to balance standards or try to balance their preferred work with more commercially viable products
