Authentic Marketing for the Contemporary Artist:
This mentorship group is designed for practicing artists who are ready to step into greater visibility and share their work with the public in ways that feel intentional, authentic, and sustainable. Tailored for those at the stage of growing their art career and online presence, this program supports artists in reframing marketing as a creative, values-driven extension of their practice.
Together, we’ll explore how to build meaningful connections with your audience through thoughtful communication, while equipping you with practical tools for promoting your work professionally. Rather than relying on impersonal or overly commercial strategies, this mentorship emphasizes a personalized approach to marketing that aligns with your identity and goals as an artist.
Topics covered include:
• Developing and managing your website as a professional portfolio
• Writing engaging newsletters that build connection and community
• Utilizing social media in purposeful and manageable ways
• Understanding your audience and crafting clear, compelling messaging
• Building a consistent and sustainable communication rhythm
Through a combination of guided instruction, open discussion, and individualized assignments, you’ll develop a toolkit of strategies that feel true to who you are—supporting long-term growth for both your art business and creative life.
Whether you’re preparing for exhibitions, launching an online shop, or simply seeking to engage more confidently with your audience, this group provides structure, encouragement, and accountability to help you share your work with clarity and confidence.
