Your art marketing should be people focused.
When you’re building an art business and career, who you know and who knows you matters.
People should be at the forefront of your art marketing.
You probably already know how important it is to be connected for a successful art career.
And you’ve likely been making important connections all along.
But how are you at making intentional connections on a daily basis? How are you at identifying the people you want in your network, reaching out, and following up?

Conscious Connections are ...
Conscious connections are intentional relationships with an individual or organization that can help you achieve specific goals.
Conscious connections go beyond casual acquaintances and require a deeper and more personal level of engagement and commitment.
Conscious Connections are NOT ...
Conscious connections are not transactional relationships where partners expect something in return.
Conscious connections are not about getting.
Conscious Connections make you feel good because the relationships are authentic. They’re meaningful. They should never feel icky.

I just wanted to let you know how much Your People Plan workshop has helped me. What a shift in mindset it’s made!
I’m currently on the most amazing commission residency at an important cultural institution in Scotland, and have been busy making conscious connections every day. Before the workshop I would not have had the confidence or framework to really make the most of the opportunity—now I see how it all fits together.
Your conscious connections include ..
- A collector who raves about your art (but maybe hasn't heard from you in a long time).
- A realtor who commissions you to make gifts for their new home-buying clients.
- Another artist who is well connected in the community and can help make introductions.
- A property manager who needs art to make their buildings more appealing.

Hi. I'm Alyson Stanfield.
I appreciate your reading this far on the page. 😉
Your People Plan focuses on what I believe to be most true about your success: That you NEED people to help you succeed.

I love to work with clients with a growth mindset who challenge themselves with increasingly prestigious goals.

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.
MY GUARANTEE
There’s no promise that you’ll make thousands of dollars or double the size of your list. However, I do promise that if you do this work, you’ll have a plan to nurture relationships that can sustain you for years to come.
Ethical Marketing
In 2021 I took The Ethical Move pledge to run my business with the highest level of ethics. This means …
Rounded pricing
Fair and generous refund policy
No fear-based marketing
No outrageous claims for transformation just because you buy from me
Very low finance fees for payment plans (well under 10%)
