The next level of support for your art business goals is here.
Advanced. Focused.
Personal and affordable support from me and our other ambitious artists.
The Art Biz Accelerator is for you if ...
- You are committed to your work and your life as an artist.
- You show up in the studio and are dedicated to the evolution of your work.
- You see value in what I might be able to provide you through coaching and consulting.
- You are ready to invest in yourself and your art.
- You could benefit from the structure of an ongoing program and community.
Being a part of the community has also helped me broaden my ideas of what is possible. Being around other people who are serious about growing their art careers is inspiring and gives me momentum. Everyone in the group is so supportive and generous with information (and fun to be around as well).
This is the culmination of years of planning, creating, coaching, and consulting.
It’s a more affordable way to get additional and personalized support from me over a longer period of time.
THIS IS YOUR NEXT LEVEL COMMUNITY AND COACHING GROUP.
It's not for you if ...
You just want to drop in for a month and leave.
In the Art Biz Accelerator, I’m looking for artists who are prepared to make a minimum 1-year investment in themselves and commitment to one another.
You want a step-by-step class.
That’s not what this is all about. When you reach a certain level, you need to piece together a personalized curriculum without being tempted by courses you have outgrown.
Here's what you get
in the Art Biz Accelerator
WORKSHOPS
Three times a year we set aside a couple of days to help you finalize plans for the upcoming months.
Each planning workshop is 2-4 hours and includes training, work sessions, and group coaching.
VALUE: $300 (varies)
OFFICE HOURS
Once a month I’ll open my Zoom channel for 1 hour to Accelerator members who want to drop in for a little brainstorming, support, coaching, or consulting. These will be recorded and available to all members.
VALUE: $1200
MINI-TRAININGS
In order to be most responsive to members’ needs, I provide training for what is needed at the moment, which is why a schedule isn’t announced in advance. It might be a short video or a live webinar. Approximately every 2-3 of months.*
VALUE: $400+
THE SALON
I select an art video, podcast episode, or article each month, which we will discuss as a group in The Salon. This is to get you thinking critically and build your vocabulary for the next level of your art career.
VALUE: $270
*Mini-training topics have included graphic design tips, improving your email newsletter, Instagram, business organization, hiring team, and email marketing rhythm for a promotion. This is even more valuable if you submitted the idea and got personal feedback during the session.
Enroll Anytime!
The Art Biz Accelerator is $1200/year or $105/month ($1260).
The application is below.
Not to overwhelm you, but you also have access to everything inside of our community.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Alyson and artist-mentor Suzanne Gibbs are actively generating and participating in NO FLUFF conversations with our committed artists around the world. We use the Mighty Networks platform (not Facebook).
SUPPORT SESSIONS
Our artist-mentors facilitate live, productive Zoom sessions with breakout rooms so you can talk about what’s on your mind with other artists. On the schedule these are noted as studio talks and get it done days.
VALUE: $400
To top it off, a local lifestyle magazine published an article about the exhibition and me that just came out. Thanks for all your encouragement and expert guidance that you shared as I went through this wonderful journey.
