The definition of an artist is wide-ranging and covers a broad spectrum of activities to do with creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art. The normal meaning in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism.

What % of artist sales is reasonable to take for a record producer?
Q. I have a small recording studio, and have been approached by an artist that wants me to take a % of sales rather than my standard hourly studio recording, mixing, mastering & production rate.

How long should a featured artist play at a concert with other artists?
Q. I'm hosting a variety show in November and I have a cello quartet that will be our featured artist. I was thinking of asking them to play fo 20 minutes or a little longer. Is there a standard amount of time a featured artist plays at a show with other acts in it? It's a 2 hour program, no contest, other musical acts along with comedy and poetry readings.

A. There are several items that can adjust the time. How long is the total program? Is the rest of the program a contest? What is your audience? Here are my suggestions. This is based on 90 minutes of program. Open with the Quartet. A single selection 8-10 minutes. Alternate styles of performances by the other acts for 30-35 minutes. Quartet perform another 10 minutes. Remaining acts alternating styles again for 30 minutes. Cello Quartet closing with a single short selection. If your audience is there to see the Quartet you could make their closer longer. If it is a contest. The winners should be announced at the very end. Either way all performers should be brought back on stage as a group, not one at a time.

A. It's called a Mortuary Cosmetologist. I would recommend studying at a local mortuary college. The area of cosmetology requires extensive knowledge of physiognomy (the study of the muscles of the face), color scale, recreative artistry, and chemistry. Many of the mortuary schools offer courses that cover all of these areas. Funeral homes in urban settings sometimes use local services to come and do hair and some cosmetics. Most do their own cosmetic work as part of the normal preparation of the deceased. The best advice I can give would be to go and talk to your local funeral home/funeral director and ask what requirements the funeral home may have. The funeral director may even have other suggestions for your particular part of the… [cont.]

Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
