Series Outline

I. “The Art of the Foundation”: Creating a plan/ Developing your brand

During this workshop we will explore important foundational elements of pursuing an art

career. Some of my talking points will be centered around setting large and small goals,

finding your “why”, creating an action plan and building an authentic brand. I will also share

my story of going from a full time day job to a full time art career and the steps I took to

transition. We will take time to break down the plan I created for myself and spend time

drafting realistic steps for artists to achieve their own specific goals.

II. “The Art of Story Telling”: Finding Your Voice, Building Relationships

and Marketing Your Brand

One of the most important elements of being a successful full time artist is understanding

your own work and knowing how to speak about it. Artists will complete worksheets and

exercises to help them learn the art of communicating about their work. This workshop will

also explore how communication can aid in developing relationships with clients, business

partners, organizations and the artists' respective communities. We will also discuss basic

communication skills, “mixing and mingling” and networking.

III. “The Art of Making Money”: Passive Income, Budgeting, Revenue

Streams & Taxes(Breakdown)

There are several ways artists can make money outside of just selling their artwork.

Most of these potential revenue streams are not so obvious and require a bit of

guidance and creativity. In this workshop I will break down several different ways

artists can obtain multiple streams of revenue (including passive income) and

explain how they can grow them over time. I will also provide resources/ contact info

for a tax expert and financial advisor
