The Artist's Annual Review

REFLECT ON 2024 BEFORE PLANNING 2025

The end of the year is the perfect time to pause and reflect on all you’ve accomplished in your art and business. That’s why I created The Artist’s Annual Review, a free resource that has become a cherished ritual for artists in the Art Biz Success community.

This guided review helps you take a holistic look at four key areas of your life:

  • Personal
  • Your art
  • Learning and teaching
  • Business and marketing

It’s your opportunity to acknowledge your growth and challenges, honor the progress you’ve made, and prepare for the next phase: planning for a successful year ahead.

With flexible and creative prompts, this process is designed for you to add your personal flair.

Thousands of artists around the world have found it transformative. Now it’s your turn!

We are more likely to be motivated to continue when we recognize our progress.

What a wonderful idea and how well thought out and organized! I often make a list of what I want to accomplish in a coming year but never give a thought to evaluating the previous year, which it would be well to do first!

Hi! I'm Alyson.

Years ago, I started an annual review process to reflect on my year, and it’s been such a valuable practice that I’ve shared it with artists ever since.

I want to help you celebrate your year—acknowledging your progress, no matter how small. When you see how far you’ve come, it’s easier to stay motivated, take bold steps forward, and keep building the art career you want.

I hope this becomes a cherished tradition for you, as it has for me.

As the host of The Art Biz podcast, leader of the Art Biz Success community, and author of I’d Rather Be in the Studio, my mission is to empower artists. I focus on helping you gain essential skills and build sustainable systems for a thriving art career.

The annual review is a perfect starting point. It uses thoughtful inquiry to help you reflect on past achievements and challenges, so you can assess your next steps and move into the planning phase with clarity and confidence.

I kept writing "Nothing. I didn't do anything in that category this year." And then I'd go "Wait! Yes I did!" I accomplished a lot more than I thought I did last year. Thanks for all of those thought-provoking questions to help me realize that.
