There are many US citizens who have immigrant friends but they cannot connect with or fully understand their struggles. This book is written by a first generation immigrant who understands these struggles. Through the lens of this book they can help connect their immigrant friends to the help they need. If you are an immigrant, however you found your way to the United States, or even if you're planning to come over, you will find useful tips and information to make your stay here a fuller and richer experience. As the saying goes, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Careful planning is really essential here in the US for transportation, feeding, shopping and many areas of life often taken for granted elsewhere. This is because there's more reliable information as well as cost effective and easily accessible tools to plan with. An Immigrant's Guide to Settling in America - Survival will give you an easy start to plan a cost effective, yet exciting stay in the US.

Download or read book Making It written by Jaša and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential did for the world of chefs and restaurants, Making It does for the art world. Making It is a gonzo memoir of an established artist crossed with objective advice, tips and tricks fleshed out by a best-selling art historian and Pulitzer finalist writer on art. It peels back the shroud and reveals the highs and struggles in the life and career of a working artist. Specifically aimed at aspiring artists and art students, it will be of interest to anyone who wants to know what it is like to have an artist’s-eye-view of the art world, asking the tough and often glossed-over questions that rising artists inevitably have, not only about the creative process, but about navigating the turbulent waters of the social, professional, academic, critical, museum and trade elements of a career as a visual artist. How best to deal with the abundance of alcohol, drugs and sex while wire-walking your own artistic dilemmas? How can an artist launch his or her career and help it flourish? What’s it like to achieve every artist’s dream, including showing at the Venice Biennale? What does it really mean to "make it" and how can you maintain your groove once you’ve arrived? All these questions and more are answered in this combination tell-all memoir and how-to manual for rising artists and anyone wanting a behind-the-scenes tour of what it’s like to be an artist.
