The Artist Business Plan From the Streets to the Galleries with William Atkinson
In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with William Atkinson, to discuss his background in street art and how that influenced his career. Learn about the street artist's voice when you tune into this lovely episode.
Guest: Contemporary artist William Atkinson has been creating art for over ten years. Working in his early years as a street artist under a pseudonym, William sought to use his distinctive blend of Abstract Expressionism, Street Art, and Graffiti Assemblage to anonymously create public discourse.
While his work naturally transitioned from street art to formal galleries, his art has remained loud and subversive, keeping true to his initial form of expression. After starting his work in the arts, Atkinson founded and operated a gallery and artist incubator in Los Angeles, and later became operations director for two internationally-renowned galleries in New York. Today, Atkinson works out of his studio based in Dallas, Texas where he lives with his wife and child.
