I have taken other planning workshops and they have been totally overwhelming and just left me frustrated or freaked out and running in the other direction.
Your workshop was nothing like these and a wonderful, productive experience. Not overwhelming at all!
I went from skeptical on the first day to completely loving your methods and systems by the last day. I walked away from it with a plan in hand and a fresh, I can do this attitude.

You will receive:
PLANNING PREP
Any time you are planning, you have to consider your past results so you can avoid mistakes and build on successes.
A little prep will make your planning go more smoothly.
LIVE SESSIONS
- Three 90-120-minute live sessions
- Recordings of all sessions (audio, video, and well organized notes)
- 10-Page workbook to guide you through the formation of your plan
COMMUNITY
You will be invited to try out the Art Biz Connection community for just $1 for your first month. This is where you can connect with our committed members, ask questions, and participate in live sessions with me and our artist mentor.
ACTIONABLE PLAN
When you prepare, watch and read the lessons, and do the homework, you will have a customized plan for your shows and sales.
You’ll also know exactly what your top priorities are so you can start working through your plan immediately.
Through the planning process, you will …
- Get real about your limited energy, time, and resources—knowing that you have to make hard choices when you want to reach a higher level.
- Try various methods for planning in order to embrace what works best for you.
- Articulate your priorities for the upcoming months and, perhaps, through the end of the year.
- Create a routine and a level of self-accountability so that you can stay on track with your priorities. And, most importantly ...
- Start the year with optimism, intention, and clarity.

Hi. I'm Alyson Stanfield.
I appreciate your reading this far on the page. 😉
My planning workshops are created to help you pause—to take a deep breath and step away from the busy-ness so you can work on your busi-ness.
The ultimate goal, always, is your fulfillment as an artist and amplified joy.
I’m the author of I’d Rather Be in the Studio: The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion, leader of Artist Planning Sessions, and the host of The Art Biz podcast.
I work with clients who have a growth mindset and challenge themselves with increasingly prestigious goals—something I ask of you in my planning workshops. I’d love to help you plan for your future.
MY GUARANTEE
There’s no promise that you’ll land a gallery or make thousands of dollars. However, I do promise that if you do this work, you’ll have a plan to elevate your show venues and increase your sales—one that you will be able to adapt at any point in your art career.
FAQs for Planning Workshops
Your planning workshop includes:
- Recordings (audio and video) and chat transcripts (when applicable) from the live training sessions
- 10-page workbook (focused, not overwhelming)
- $1 trial membership in the Art Biz Connection community forum
To get personal feedback on your plan …
We hope you’ll join the Art Biz Connection community forum for $1, where my team and I are actively engaged, so that we can all benefit from the dialogue.
You get even more attention, accountability, and resources when you join Essentials.
Students attending the live sessions benefit from Q&A opportunities.
You have access to the recordings, transcript, and worksheets forever because you can download everything!
This planning workshop is included in my ESSENTIALS for Artist Success marketing program. We hope you join us, but you will also be invited to join at the community level if you’re only looking for connection and structure.
If you are unhappy with your purchase of this live online workshop or its recorded version, you may request a refund within 21 days of the live program or of your purchase date, if purchasing the recording later. No questions asked.
This won’t be offered again in 2025, although we will have another planning workshop in May 2025—also included in Essentials for Artist Success.

Attending your planning sessions was one of the most valuable things I’ve done personally or professionally. I had about 45 balls in the air and felt like I was drowning.
Just identifying my projects on paper and then listing out the tasks required for each really helped clear my head. Then applying the project approach with a paper schedule and task list was huge.
I now have a solid plan of attack for my ambitious projects. Several people close to me have commented about how focused and energetic I’ve been since putting my plan into action.
