However,
I began reading one of them called Making it in the Art World by Brainard Carey.
I found I couldn't put it down.
Let's delve deeper.
Brainard Carey is a collaborative artist with his wife; their breakthrough that got them into the Whitney Biennial was an art installation composed of giving out free hugs.

Imagine that.
My first thought: the thing I love most about the art world is that it always surprises me.
Brainard says, "My goal is to give out hugs for a living." And he has made quite a good living from what I've read. He has had a bit of history in the art world, consisting of owning his own gallery, living in New York, and writing an accomplished book. But everything he has does has been through his passion for art.
What an inspiration.
Recently, he has started an art project with his wife and actor James Franco. It's called The Museum of Non-Visible Art (MONA).

I bet that had you scratching your head.
Art is everywhere. Art can be created through anything. You just have to "speak enthusiastically about what you are doing or who you are," says Brainard, and your audience will be captivated.
