By the time critics notice something in art, artists have almost always long since led the way.

What struck me was how, deep down, fame and success had so little impact on the way these artists led their lives.

The 1910 census indicates that not all artists led lives of penury.

Working artistically is unhealthy; an artist should lead a healthy life to make up for it.

Northern European artists led the way in realistic portraits of secular subjects.

Local business partners fund many of these exhibitions and some feature the artists themselves leading public tours through the exhibition.

This "artist" led the male subject to an empty room where he handed the volunteer a consent form to sign before they proceeded.

"I suppose artists and writers can lead a pretty insulated life," I said.

The gallery is, crucially, artist led which informs the whole ethos of the space.

Artists also lead workshops demonstrating and/or discussing aspects of their performances on smaller stages.
