We'd love for you to join us if ...
- You want to stay connected with artists with experiences that you can learn from and coaches who can help you strategize.
- You crave a community of advancing artists who get you.
- You could use help maintaining momentum for your art and business—knowing that you have massive support should you ever stray far from your goals.
YOU'RE DONE WITH ...
Trying to figure everything out on your own and not getting the results you want.
We can figure this out together.
Being surrounded by people who don't get you. Who don't understand the specific challenges of artists.
We. Get. You.
Not having anyone to talk with about business strategies, tools, tactics, or ideas. Not all artists are ambitious.
We're here for you.

Please upgrade me to an annual member. What I love about the community is that I feel like I’m with a group of peers who have similar goals. I have joined a variety of Facebook art groups but there just doesn’t seem to be the seriousness and commitment that I see in the Art Biz community.
I feel like the people in the community are serious artists and not dabblers and that’s what I need!
CARY REEDER
I don't need to tell you that artists face a challenging landscape.
- Galleries are closing or going online.
- A.I. is promising and threatening.
- The competition for eyeballs is fierce.
All this means that we need your art more than ever.
Nobody knows what the future options will look like for exhibiting and selling art, though, when we bring our collective knowledge together, we can make educated predictions.
We have to take charge, and we need a community of like-minded, dedicated artists to help navigate these unknowns.

Joining your group is one of the best things I've done in a long time.
Being in contact with people who care about their artwork and art itself has made a big difference in my outlook and my thought process.

Get to know like-minded artists.
Participate in Zoom discussions with other ambitious artists around the world. Share ideas and experiences about the directed topic (or your topic of choice)
Mark it off your list.
Get It Done Days are a member favorite and exactly what they sound like—a day set aside to work on, with our group energy behind you, a particular task or project that you've been procrastinating or that you need to put on the calendar and just get ‘er done.
We're rotating in coworking sessions for focus.
Take bold steps with our support.
Every now and then, I throw down a community challenge designed to encourage you to take a step in a direction that might be uncomfortable, but that is necessary for professional growth.
Celebrate your achievements and get accountability with our weekly progress reports.
Stay informed.
You'll receive a members-only email on Mondays to get you focused and engaged with the activity inside of the community. It isn't sent because you need more email. Lawd knows! It's a reminder that a new work week is beginning and we are here to support you.
Seek answers, share resources.
Be part of our members-only forum, where my team and I are very active. In the forum, I post weekly questions and polls, resources, updates, and check-ins.

The Art Biz Connection community is for ambitious visual artists who want to sharpen their business and marketing skills.
At the same time, we encourage you to maintain a healthy studio practice, without which you would have no business.
We discover the latest trends and predictions in the art world and share struggles and joys with one another.
We are diverse, but we're like minded when it comes to our art businesses and careers.
Inside of the community, our monthly themes are selected to keep you focused on your business, with lively discussions evolving around those themes. Our themes have included making videos, improving your relationship with money, collaborating, auditing your online presence, nurturing relationships, cleaning out, and focusing on productivity.

Our structured community is led by Alyson, who has two decades of experience working with groups of artists.
Hi! I've been waiting on you.
I'm Alyson Stanfield and bringing artists together is one of my favorite things to do, and I've been doing it for longer than I care to reveal.
Artists have become life-long friends at my live events and in my online courses. There's no reason to wait for when we can gather in person again because I have a community of inspiring, dedicated artists waiting to connect with you.
We are all working toward individual goals, but we use the community to stay focused and inspired.
I can't wait to welcome you!

You take the time to reach out to individuals members in the Art Biz Success community.
I can tell that you truly care about this artist community that you've created.

Personal feedback sessions and private coaching is not included.
I do respond to questions during our live Labs on Zoom and am very active in community discussions.
Please see this page if you are interested in private coaching.
