Make your dream a reality
Every artist wants an enthusiastic audience that appreciates their work – why do some manage to build a following and a roster of clients while others with similar talent continue to struggle? Join Lisa Congdon, illustrator, artist, and author of Art, Inc., to learn everything you need to know to make a living as a fine or commercial artist.
In this class, you will explore the steps you need to take to bring your art to the world and reach new and diverse audiences. You’ll map out the vision and goals that drive your artistic career. You’ll identify the characteristics that make your style unique, and you’ll use those characteristics to develop a memorable personality for your business. And, as you learn to approach your art career as a step-by-step process, you will begin to build the emotional resilience and flexibility essential to survive the rejection and setbacks every artist faces on the road to finding an appreciative, paying audience.
If making a living as an artist is your dream, this class is an essential step toward making that dream a reality.
