The Definition Of An Indie Artist

By Edward Harris


Most often, individuals involved in arts and entertainment have an agent or manager. While this is the case, there are also others whom are self-promoting artists. In many cases, an individual doing so is considered an indie artist. As this is the case, the individual is also responsible for events listings in local calendars, sharing information on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, hanging event posters and passing out handbills.

While some individuals can now find instant stardom on shows such as The Voice and American Idol or on video sites such as YouTube, the experience rarely results in a long running career. Whereas, independent artists whom put a great deal of time and effort into honing a craft are often artists for life. As such, many independent artists are often more successful than others.

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 will set goals which once achieved are celebrated, such as an art opening at a gallery, playing a concert or performing as a feature at a bookstore or festival. For, most live on a day to day basis while creating whatever art form is of the most interest. As with all artists, these individuals often make a living with art projects, art shows, concerts, readings and piece work.

When it comes poets, there are many whom attend National or International Poetry festivals each year. In doing so, the individuals often has a chance perform in front of other poets and spoken word fans as a feature. Whereas, there are often poetry slams at which individuals can perform in hopes of winning money. For those not comfortable with competition, there are often areas in which poets can also sell a number of poetry related products such as books and CDs.

Feedback, whether positive or negative, can often have a major impact on these artists. For, in most cases, an individual will take the information and use it toward personal growth. Whereas, there are some whom will no doubt take offense, even when it comes to constructive criticism. For, there are artists whom believe that beauty in art, as in life, is in the eye of the beholder.

Individuals looking to become independent artists can often find classes at local community centers and online in different areas. For example, there are often classes related to painting and photography, music and writing, or glass work and sculpting. There are also classes and workshops held at some colleges and universities for senior citizens, often beginning at age 50 with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, better known as Olli.

Independent artists are self-confident, self-dedicated and self-sufficient. For, a true independent artist finds ways to succeed without the help of others. The term independent in and of itself relates to completing a project with the education, talents, tools and materials with which one has on hand. After which, the artist then shares the finished product with those whom are interested in the work.
