Ty Unglebower I am hoping to cultivate some contacts in the arts field, specifically advocacy, in the coming months. Hopefully my Twitter skills are improving enough to allow that to happen. My goal is to have a job, at least part time, offering my copy writing skills in service to advocacy and education in the arts. Anyone here have any advice on where to make such connections?

Ask them great questions about the industry, about their role, etc. Before you end, ask if there are other people in their network that he/she could put you in touch with to continue learning more. You'll be making connections and learning along the way. Something in your conversation may even lead to you discussing your own aspirations.

Ty Unglebower: Thanks, Amy. I am going to a tweet up this week, for a magazine for which I write. Perhaps I will find some arts related people there.

Emma Kirsopp hey everyone, thanks for joining this conversation. I have recently landed a new job which has brought up a lot of issues surrounding the day job/art balance. Personally I'm loving the challenge and my day job is feeding into and expanding my artwork in new and exciting ways. What do others think? How do you cope with the job/art balance, or is it not an issue?

I'm a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, but I find that my work detracts from, instead of enriching or adding to, the fine art I make as a hobby. My illustration style is digital line and fill--90% of my work is with Adobe Illustrator, while my fine art is the opposite--textured, layered, mixed-media. I'm deeply proud of my work, but finding time and energy for my fine art has proven a lot more challenging than I imagined it would back in art school!
