Do you struggle to market your art in a way that feels natural and effective?

Are you overwhelmed by all the ways you could promote your work and unsure where to focus your efforts?


Marketing your art doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The Art Biz: Simplify Your Art Marketing Strategy Workshop is designed to help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly works for your art career and life.

Whether you want to attract more collectors, secure better exhibition opportunities, or take control of your marketing with less stress, this hands-on workshop will help you develop a clear, actionable plan. With expert guidance from Alyson Stanfield and the support of fellow artists, you’ll leave with renewed confidence and a strategy that aligns with your unique goals.
