The Definition Of An Indie Artist

By Edward Harris


When it comes to arts and entertainment, there are several categories. Whether a visual, mixed-media artist or painter, musician or poet, most often an individual working in any of these genres is often considered an indie artist. That is, if the individual is in control of the activity which one is promoting at any given time. For, independent artists often provide calendar listings, hang posters and promote art on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

In many cases, these individuals work from the bottom up. While this is the case, those whom are most successful eventually get to the point of becoming self-supporting artists whom can live on the income the art provides. As such, rather than instant stardom, these individuals often have to work long and hard to reach this level of success.

Most independent artists are individuals whom can focus on a project from beginning through completion. In doing so, these individuals can often move forward and become well known artists over time. While this is the case, it should be noted that independent artists create, produce and promote whatever art form one is working in at the moment.

In most cases, these individuals rarely have a full or part-time job, and live on a limited income of proceeds from piece work and art projects. While this is the case, most are more than happy to do so. For, being independent includes having the freedom to work on projects as desired.

Independent artists are often surrounded by others of like-mind and talents whom provide encouragement and support. Most people consider artists to be painters, photographers, poets, sculptors and writers. While this is the case, more importantly, these individuals are practitioners.

In all cases, independent artists practice whatever art form one is involved with on a daily basis. Asked or otherwise, these individuals often appreciate feedback. Whether feedback from fellow artists, or professional critics, most find the information useful in improving work so that future art openings or performances are more enjoyable.

When it comes to visual artists such as painters and photographers, there are often free classes which one can attend online or at local community centers. While musicians, poets and writers can often grow as artists by performing at a number of community based open mics, or by booking gigs at clubs in the area. Whereas, those interested in sculpture or glass work can often find classes and workshops listed in local magazines, entertainment guides, newspapers and online.

Whatever the case, a true independent artist creates a way to succeed without the help of others. For, as the term indicates, independent means getting things done with the talents and materials with which one has to do so. Once having completed a project or piece of work, an independent artist then goes out and shares the creation with the world at large.
