This process helps emerging to mid-career visual artists get the right visibility on their work and expand their opportunities with intention, giving them more freedom to focus on their practice.

Whether your practice is performance, painting, or undefinable, let’s get clear about your goals, reflect your artist identity in your online presence, elevate how you represent your work, connect to made-for-you opportunities, network with meaningful contacts who care about the work you do, and keep your momentum going with support and an action plan.

PHASE 1 Foundation

• Week 1

• Get to Know You, Your Work, & Your Direction: meet to discuss what your work is about, who you are as an artist and human, what your practice looks like, who’s in your network, and where you want to take your career. Brainstorm ideal opportunities that move you in the right direction.

• Result by this stage: Get clear on your unique visual and conceptual artist identity and journey so far, your goals, and the potential opportunities to pursue.

• Week 2-3

• Reflect Identity in Outward Presence: review, renew, or create artist statement, bio, resume, and work samples; review and plan action steps for website and social media presence (including portfolio).

• Result by this stage: You’re clear about your artist identity and goals, have a strong online presence that reflects you and your work, ready to seek and create made-for-you opportunities.

PHASE 2 Done for You

• Week 4-5

• Curate Your Opportunities: research organizations and individuals who are most likely to value your work and move your career in the right direction; examine your existing network; curate a web of opportunities that fit your desired career moves (grants, residencies, galleries, open calls, collaborations, press, etc.); organize this information in an actionable visual; review with you.

• Result by this stage: You have an informative visual of made-for-you opportunities with an actionable plan that you’re excited for. 

• Week 6-7

• Outreach & Network Intentionally: put your work in front of specific gallerists, curators, & press; apply for made-for-you opportunities; line up strategic networking events, meetings, interviews.

• Result by this stage: We’ve applied to every open made-for-you opportunity (grant, residency, open call, fellowship, award +), put your work and new ideas in front of specific important people, have a calendar of meetings with art contacts and future opportunities with deadlines.

PHASE 3 Momentum

• Week 8

• Keep Momentum: receive a summary of upcoming dates for made-for-you opportunities, new contacts, and progress. Check in with you.

* This is a loose description of how we will work together. The best part of this process is that it is completely tailored to you, so once we have our first in depth meeting, the outline may look slightly different.

Highlights

Tailored for You - You’ll have undivided individual support. One size never fits all (especially in art), so this whole process is completely custom to you: your work, style, medium, ideas, mission, experience, goals, and more.

Done-for-You Support - The time-consuming but career-making work is all done for you. Feel good about focusing on your art practice, working on current projects and having time to explore new ones. With thorough communication, collaboration, and weekly check-ins, know that your art career is driven by you and what you want to happen. 

Organization - There’s so much information we will discuss, opportunities we’ll find, people we’ll talk to, and deadlines we won’t want to miss. So to ensure all of that is digestible, you’ll have all of that organized for you. (We’ll talk about your preferred way of seeing that information, too.)
