As a teaching artist and director of Arts Asylum, I hear from artists all the time about tackling the over-whelming business side of art. 

If you have all your promotional materials in order and a plan, you can take your art career to the next level without having to spend all your time managing yourself.  I can help you on all of these areas or any individual subject. For 10 years  as Gallery Curator and Administrative Director at Highways Performance Space & Gallery in Santa Monica, I  exhibited work of local artists, worked with curators, and 18th Street Art Center Artists in Residence.  I also worked with artists on self-promotion through individual consultations and  Promote Yourself Workshops to help artists achieve their goals. 

Areas to consider:

• Bio 
• Resume 
• Artist statement 
• Letters of recommendation and/or Quotes page
• Video – review and editing suggestions
• Catalogues
• Post Card or Brochures – if teaching artist
• Build a simple word press website/blog
• Effective use of social media
• Working with nonprofits as an umbrella organization for funding
• Becoming a nonprofit
• Grants for Artists
• Residencies
• Showcasing your art or performance
• The new art world – galleries/art fairs/DYI/combo
  • One person shows or group shows?
  • Which gallery? Finding a good fit. How to approach. What to present.

• • Pop Up/Rental galleries
  • Donations 
  • Fairs
  • Stores/coffee shops/restaurants
• Identifying your goals, expenses and creating a plan with a timeline
• IRS
