Before you Spend a Dime on Art Supplies

Here is blatant promotion for a telesummit in which I am participating next week.

 

On January 13, 1:30-3:00 pm (EST) I'll be part of a MasterMind panel of 13 leading art career authorities, and successful artists. On January 19, 2:15-3:15 pm (EST) with my own keynote presentation "More Patrons Than You Ever Dreamed Of - Learn The Secrets Of Being Successful At The Nation's Juried Fine Art Fairs". I am honored to have been chosen to join this telesummit as the representative of the art fair industry.

 

This telesummit arranged by Ariane Goodwin has a strong history of helping artists with the "art of the art business". It should be especially helpful to all of you are wondering where to go next with your career and helpful to the experienced who need fresh ideas.

...have you budgeted dimes for your art career?

Of course you need art supplies, that’s No.1 priority. Only, imagine if someone waved a wand and all your art supplies disappeared? How difficult would it be (impossible actually) to make art?

Yet, if you are being gut honest, isn’t this what happens on the art career side of things?

Isn’t it completely obvious that it’s not just difficult, but completely impossible to move your career forward without investing in it?

Investing in your art career is the very cornerstone of sustainability.

And listen, my lovely artists, I practice what I preach. I’ve been working with a special career and marketing coach every month for the past 3 years!

Sure, I could talk myself out of the expense (still paying off graduate student loans–not to mention car repairs, you know the drill...). But, oh the results! I have learned so much that being coached is now part of my business expenses, like electricity or broadband access, or toothbrushes (sneaky deduction trick I’m not sharing!).

My personal favorite:

And, oh the results artists have gotten from the past 4 smARTist Telesummits!

How do I know? Because, already, 50% of participants this year are returning alumni!

These artists tell me about: increased confidence, more collectors, new work, landing the perfect gallery, higher productivity, selling more artwork, making connections that are paying off... the list is way too long for one email, but you get the point.

------------------------------------------------------

The Point> Come.

For 7 days it’s all about you. 7 days where you immerse yourself in the newest, best ways to sell your art in 2011. (Confession: I want this for you so badly it hurts. I want you to be successful and fill our world with your glorious, creative visions.)

Praying (yes, praying...) for your success in and out of the studio,

Ariane

P.S. Did you hear this call with me and Barney Davey—who was spectacular, in large part because he is this deeply genuine person who also loves artists.

Barney’s been in the art world for years and has things to say about the Big Vision that no artist should miss.

P.S.S. Listen to one of your fellow artists: “I have enjoyed all the sessions; several introduced new fields to me that I had paid little attention to in the past. I also appreciate the gentle approach and kind attitude throughout the seven days. Thank you for your professional, outstanding Telesummit. The target lectures are all relevant and useful.” ~ Mary Hrbacek
