Attract Collectors, Students, Curators, and Gallerists
Starts June 3
Picture this. (No pun intended.)
You find yourself at a swanky gallery or museum opening and someone introduces you to one of the top curators at the museum. She hears you're an artist and asks you to tell her about your art.
Are you able to do so in a single sentence?
Are you able to present yourself as a confident, professional artist?
If there is any hesitation, please join me for this program.
LESSONS + LIVE SESSIONS
Starts June 3
After years of showing my work locally, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, contacting galleries in other areas for representation. Of course, they asked for an artist bio and résumé. Using your tips as a guide, I was able to create an authentic, interesting bio and list of exhibits.
I feel confident in my art and my credentials presentation with your help.

What Opportunities Are You Missing Because Your Message Isn't Clear?
When you don't have the words to talk or write about your art, you don't have the confidence necessary to promote yourself or reach out for new opportunities.
Without this vocabulary, you risk staying exactly where you are—without room for advancement.
You need the right words for conversations with collectors, exhibition proposals to curators, and text for grant applications, press releases, your website, and so much more.
- Commit to the time and process for developing a a package that will make you more attractive to buyers and collectors.
- Renew confidence in your work and yourself with unprecedented clarity.
- Find the right words that will roll of your tongue when you need to speak about your art or appear from your fingertips when you write about it.

I participated in Magnetic You and in the last three weeks have sold five paintings for a total of $9,150 (my net was $5,550). I believe the key was engaging with buyers and inspiring them on how to look at the artwork—like I learned in your program. —Susie Alexander

I'm in an exhibit and the curator requested a statement. I tweaked it and sent it along. Last night she asked for a few added lines specific to my work in the show and the show's themes. What I noticed was that I was more ready to think about and write it because of participating in Magnetic You. Pretty awesome, Alyson! —Christine Shannon Aaron

The On-Demand Lessons
1. Own Your Story
Owning your story is owning your destiny. Commit to a habit of collecting words and create a system for capturing your stories.
2. Write Your Artist Statement
Your statement is the backbone of your marketing. Before you can promote your art, you must find the right language to connect with people.
3. Refresh Your Résumé, Bio, and About Page
Update your résumé by completing an easy and reusable template. Improve your bio by using stories to differentiate yourself.
4. Clarify Your Brand and Image
Establish 2 or 3 words that define your brand and develop a visual style sheet for promoting your brand across print or digital platforms.
5. Engage Your Audience
Use questioning strategies to connect people to your art. Program your show–live and online–to engage visitors, and attract more engagement on social media.
6. Finish Your Stories
Polish your writing during the editing process (my best tricks). Learn how to proofread your writing–even if you don't have another set of eyes to review it.
Writing my artist statement was a breeze with your Magnetic You course.—Hélène Lindqvist

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The A's for your Q's
Aren't these lessons on-demand? Why do I need to sign up now?
Yep! You could sign up anytime and work through the lessons on your own. But what fun would that be? The just-for-summer-added live sessions will help motivate you and provide a little accountability.
What technology do I need to watch live?
You can watch the recorded lessons on any device that is connected to the Internet. The live sessions are conducted over Zoom webinar (not the standard Zoom where you can see all participants). I suggest you reboot your computer and close out apps you aren’t using to ensure the best connection.
Can I get personal feedback on my writing?
I plan to provide plenty of feedback on the writing that is submitted in time for the live sessions. However, I can't promise to give feedback to everyone to submits. You will, however, be able to submit any writing for feedback in our private forum.
Will I be able to download everything?
Absolutely! You can download the videos, audio files, transcripts, and bonuses. They are yours to keep forever.

I'm confident that when you go through this process, you'll be able to see that the value far exceeds the price of the investment. However, if you are in any way unhappy with your purchase, just email me within 21 days for a refund.

I had to give a 5-minute presentation about my art for a class. Because of all the writing that I've been doing through Magnetic You, I was able to put it together a few days early, practiced it, and had it timed out just right. It went very well! In fact, the woman who was sitting next to me (who used to be a CBS anchor and had her own show on NPR for 3 years) leaned over when we were all done and told me she thought mine was the most cohesive and professional presentation! Thank you Alyson!!! —Jackie Perreault
