This pocket-size book includes 23 letters written in response to a letter from a fictitious young artist--a recent art school graduate who is struggling with the moral and practical implications of being an artist in New York City. The young artist asks "is it possible to maintain one's integrity and freedom of thought and still participate in the artworld?" Artists respond with advice (Gregory Amenoff: "Keep away from art fairs"); encouragement (Joan Jonas: "The answer is in the Work. To Work. To care about the Work."); and cautionary tales (Howardena Pindell: "Be careful of who you let into your studio"). Eleven of these letters were originally published in the July/August 2005 issue of Art on Paper magazine.
