It’s that most wonderful time of the year: the start of the fall arts season.

Like every year, we have put together an arts preview edition of the Arts+Life section of the Herald-Leader packed with calendars for arts groups in Lexington and all over the Central Kentucky region. We love the web, and you can check out a lot of our arts preview at LexGo. But if you love the arts, I do highly recommend getting a copy of the actual paper.

One thing we did make exclusively for online is the slideshow above, based on the five area artists we profiled to take a look at how people make a living, or a portion of their living, from their art, and how feasible earning your income from art is. In addition to the comments and pictures, you can hear the Lexington Philharmonic’s Clyde Beavers playing J.S. Bach’s Suite 1 in G Major for Cello.
