Megan Turek has a gift. She’s a professional costume designer for theater, whose work is going to be featured in an upcoming Unicorn Theater show called Next Fall.

Her dream? To do this kind of work in the Theater Capital of NYC. But before she packs her racks and goes – she has a few more things to learn about supporting this passion – she’s enrolling in a program to help teach her business of being an artist.

On Monday's Central Standard, a look at how to financially survive as a full-time artist. Hear how artists can manage unconventional, even unpredictable money-matters. Our guests include costume designer Megan Turek, interdisciplinary artist Jose Faus, and Diane Scott of Artists Inc.
