  • Course
  • 12 Lessons

What does it take to grow from hobby artist to a career artist? In this online course, we will discuss how to launch your art career and the essential business practices every artist should know that will take you from student to professional! Drawing from over 15 years of my own experience, this workshop is your roadmap to launching your art career!

About this Workshop

Here is what they never taught you in art school, but you will learn in this workshop!

Refine and Define Your Work

Learn what creates a consistent body of work and how to present your work with professionalism that will grab the attention of the right people

Create a Business Plan

As an artist, you must think like an entrepreneur. In this course we begin to define ourselves as a business, identify potential revenue sources and create a plan of action to help you reach your goals

Art Fairs, Galleries and More

Being an artist means getting as much exposure for your art as possible. This includes how to approach galleries as a professional, enter art competitions, art fairs and get your work published

Contracts, Paperwork and Permits

Probably the least glamorous but most essential part of conducting your art business is learning to create contracts, file important paperwork and make sure you have the correct permits to operate your art business. We will discuss all of these essentials so you set yourself up for success the first time!

Live Q&A Session

I will host a FREE Live Q&A Session one week after the course is released so you can get your questions answered! Official date TBA
