As a professional artist you'll wear many hats: entrepreneur, sales person, marketing manager, business owner - and creative! We artists are great at making art but we often fall short when it comes to planning our career.

  • -Work effectively so that you're both producing art and building your art business.
  • -Set appropriate goals.
  • -Organize your workspace for more efficiency.
  • -Gain exposure without selling yourself short.
  • -Value your artwork and the methodology of selling.
  • -Traditional ways of selling, and additional ways of selling and profiting from your art.
  • -Work with non-profit organizations so both parties will benefit.
  • -Rent and/or license your artwork for residual income.
