As artists, we often focus on mastering our craft, but what about the business side of art? I'm thrilled to announce my latest Skillshare class, "More Than a Side Hustle: Build An Art Business and Marketing Plan." This class is designed to help you navigate the exciting world of art entrepreneurship, whether you're just starting out, managing a creative side hustle, or running an early-stage art business.
In this class, we delve into vital topics such as the importance of viewing your art practice as a business, identifying suitable business models for artists, defining your brand, and setting achievable goals. Additionally, we explore how to craft a clear vision for your art business and how to choose the right marketing channels. The class aims to offer you clarity on your art business and to provide a comprehensive guide to making informed decisions that align with your goals.
Remember, a business plan is not meant to confine but to guide. As you evolve, your plan will adapt, serving as your North Star throughout your business journey. So, whether you're dabbling in the art business or are a seasoned player, this class is here to support and empower you.
