Abstract
Since the research by Mark Granovetter (1973, 1985) on labor market, the role of social networks and social capital has been repeatedly emphasized, especially in the cultural field. According to Blaug (1985), the three S, i.e. skilling, screening and socialization, are as important for the arts that the three Rs for traditional activities. The artist career depends on the artist ability to develop new competences, to assess his own capacities, and also to obtain support from well known professionals. Drawing on a survey conducted in the Languedoc Roussillon regionaround the course of twenty visual artists (semi-structured interviews), we analyze how social capital operates at the beginning (individual differences in initial endowments) and then during the career.
