All Artists included: sculptors, digital artists, photographers, dancers, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, also encompassing installation, performance, video, and conceptual artists.
What if you could create more time in your life for your work? What if you could develop the mindset of a successful working artist? What if you could position yourself to reach galleries, online sales, and other avenues of income? What if you profoundly knew yourself, your artwork, how to talk about it, and how to dive into your authenticity as an artist?
“The object isn’t to make art; it is to be in than wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” -- Robert Henri
This four-week mentorship course is designed for artists of all levels seeking depth, structure, and growth. Each weekly session incorporates reflective inquiry, critical dialogue, and practical strategies for strengthening both artistic development and awakening inner knowing. Areas of focus include thoughts about studio discipline, articulating artistic intent, discussions on gallery engagement, selling work in other ways, collaboration across disciplines, and expanding sustainable pathways for presenting your work.
During inclement weather we will meet via zoom at the same time.
