neutral Caryl Swift: 'career OF an artist', as in the link you give, is a different collocation for a different context

25 years as an actress/singer/painter/sculptor/pianist // 25 years in theatre/music/visual arts etc.

Explanation:
In fact, with no contect it's very difficult to be sure. Even if it's the title of e.g. a programme/evening/event/award, it would help to know a bit more. However, possibly something like this would work:

'Jan Kowalski celebrates 25 years in theatre'
'The Jan Kowalski Retrospective - 25 years of painting'
'After 25 years as a much-lauded violinist, Jan Kowalski today announced that he is hanging up his bow for good. He and his wife plan to...'

So - some more context would help

Sorry about the typo at the beginning. It should, of course, say:
'In fact, with no context...'

I've been thinking - if, in fact, you don't have any further context whatsoever to tell you which branch of the arts is involved, then perhaps something along these lines would work?

'25 years in the arts'
'25 years working in the arts'
