Create Opportunities

Make things happen for showing your art, selling your art, and teaching art.

(Rather than waiting for the invitations to appear, a knock on the door, or an email in your inbox.)

Make this a time to assume the power you already have but probably aren't using to its fullest.

Commit to CREATING rather than WAITING.

Start immediately.

How great it would be if you could stay in your studio and wait to be discovered? You can absolutely try that and I'll be the first to extend sincere congratulations if it works for ya!

But most of us don't have that luxury. We have to be intentional.

Are any of these true for you?

My income increased 600% after starting 2020 with the Income Accelerator! It was all due to your program. I have been in “business “ since the 1980s. I have never had a year like this.

The best part is seeing that I really can make a living as an artist. I never really believed it before. I can’t express how life changing and confidence boosting this program has been!

What on earth was I doing before the Art Biz Accelerator*?! 

Getting it all down on paper, visualizing it, was critical. Once I did this I could see strategies to help me reach my goal.

Accelerating Your Income is one of the modules in Create Opportunities

What's Included

ON-DEMAND LEARNING MODULES

Our programs are all about implementation, but we draw from our extensive library to provide these lessons when you need them. Topics, weighted on finding venues and increasing income, are outlined on this worksheet, which you'll use inside the program.

NO-FLUFF COMMUNITY FORUM

4 months membership in the Art Biz Connection, where members actively engage with one another in our forum hosted by Mighty Networks. My team and I facilitate regular discussion around topics that help you consider what is possible in your art business and life.

PRODUCTIVE CONNECTING SESSIONS

We lead live Zoom sessions with breakout rooms so you can talk about business challenges and strategies with other artists—without the fluff. On the calendar of events these are noted as strategy sessions, studio talks, and get it done days.

I was most impressed with your focused delivery of information, and that we can get answers to our questions in real time during the live sessions. You are so supportive of us but also are realistic in what you encourage us to do.

I feel more confident working with you. You are a major part of my business team.

I love how much great information you share with us! I love the structure of the assignments, which helps me actually DO the work. You have given me so much for my hard-earned money.

Before signing up with you, I was just floating around in a void, not knowing how to manage being a professional artist. I cannot even describe the difference you have made in my art life. 

– Connie Nobbe

My team and I would love to support you as you create opportunities that support your goals and long-term vision.
