The creative classmdash;artists; actors; writers; musicians; freelancers; dancers; performers; and the likemdash;are known for applying their passion for creative expression to everything they do. Perhaps the one thing that most fills this group with apprehension is the rigid world of numbers. This leads to problems arising from the unconventional financial and business situations of creative professionals; as well as the nonprofit organizations with which theyre often affiliated. Finances; budgeting; and business matters can be dreaded; if not outright ignored; by creatives--to the detriment of their artistic pursuits.Author; artist; and CPA Elaine Grogan Luttrull has written Arts Numbers to help creative professionals find the same confidence in their financial dealings as in their chosen mode of expression. It is an engaging; accessible guide that covers a variety of must-know topics; such as budgeting; cash management; visual charting; taxes; employment; and business etiquette. In a simple; straightforward style; Luttrull draws examples from smooth-flowing narratives depicting common issues within the arts worlds; as well as from her own personal anecdotes. Unlike stuffy textbooks and patronizing business books; Arts Numbers is a lively and artfully done ally in helping creative professionals plan their present financial situations and secure their futures.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Opening a door to a new way of seeing.By Shimon de ValenciaThis text goes beyond simply a history of Chicano Art. It tells a story about a personal journey into an expanded way of seeing the forces that played into the birth of an artistic revolution. This series of essays are invaluable to the historian and art critic alike. It helps both the participant and the observer alike to contextualise both the history and the messages that underlie the growth of the artist; and those who appreciate the art of Chicana/os as they formed a uniquely American Chicano identity.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
