You may have seen or heard me mention my Office Hours service for artists, and you might be wondering, what does she mean by that?
What are Office Hours?
Office Hours are consulting sessions divided into two-hour blocks of time that I spend working for and with artists who hire me to help them with their business. I have found that organizing these units this way works well from both a time and payment standpoint. Suppose you want to build out a complete marketing system for your art business. In that case, I recommend that you consider the Artisan Advantage Interactive Toolbox, which includes one-on-one consulting time. But, if you are looking for more targeted help in one specific area, Office Hours might be your best option.
How Do Office Hours Work?
The first thing you do is to purchase the block of time here. A confirmation page then provides a short form that tells me about your work and your business. Once I receive and review this form, we will set up a short fifteen to twenty-minute Zoom call to set goals for our time working together. As each artist may have different goals, we will also develop a course of action for the Office Hours block. Some of the time may be allotted to me putting a plan together for you and then coming back together or working together the entire two-hour time. It will just depend upon your situation.
Here are some examples of what an Office Hours block can accomplish.
Review your current website and determine updates and changes that you can make to strengthen your web presence.
Help you get your artist blog started with a content plan.
Help you figure out who is your target audience and where to find them.
Work on a publicity strategy.
These are just a few examples, and it ultimately depends upon your individual business needs. If you have an idea or questions about Office Hours, get in touch at becky@artisan-advantage.com.
How to Purchase Office Hours
A block currently costs $150 for two hours. The two-hour time does not include our initial fifteen-minute Zoom introduction.
Effective June 1st, Office Hours will increase to $200 per two-hour block. Purchase before June 1st to lock in the price of $150.

The Halfway Point
Can you believe 2018 is almost halfway over? For me, this is the time of year where things sometimes get a little off track and I take time to revisit and regroup with my business plan. If you are finding the same, here are three areas to review in order to get your art business plan back on track.
Three Areas To Review in Your Art Business Plan
Review year to date progress. How have your sales been so far? How is your studio time going? Have you sent out your newsletter on a regular basis? Is there some other goal or benchmark that you set for yourself that you can review? Don’t sweat what you did not get done. Rather, make a list of the positive things that you accomplished so far this year.
Review your daily activity.
How have you been spending your days? Are you following a set list of regular actions that you need to be taking in your business? Is something that you wanted to do every day not getting done, and if so, can you figure out why? By taking a look at what you are and aren’t doing on a daily basis, it will help you to make appropriate adjustments to your plan or schedule.
What does your calendar look like? Are you blocking out time on a monthly and weekly basis for your business? I recommend artists block out specific time for studio work and then specific time for business and marketing activity. Block out time on your calendar for these activities and then stick to your schedule. Don’t let anything get in the way of these preset appointments with yourself.
Going through this process is a great way to be accountable to yourself and get back on track if necessary. Or, it can give you a boost of motivation to power through the second half of the year.

by Rebecca Sciullo | Feb 7, 2018 | Consultations, Learning, Your Artist Statement
“We ask you to submit your artist statement as well as images and information about your artwork to be juried by our panel.”
“You must submit your artist statement and CV with the online application.”
“If you are interested in exhibiting your work in the gallery, please submit your artist statement and samples of your work.”
“To complete your registration submit your artist statement…”
Are you serious about your visual art business? If so, you are likely familiar with requests like the ones above. If you haven’t yet, you will eventually need an artist statement. Don’t wait until the last-minute. Take time to write your artist statement sooner, rather than later. The best way to write an effective statement that connects with your viewers is to do it in advance. You will be better prepared for opportunities. Also, you will be better equipped to speak clearly about your work.
Get help writing your artist statement.
If you are in need of an artist statement or need to update an existing statement, let me help you. My “Writing an Effective Artist Statement” Micro Consulting session is designed to help you produce the perfect statement for your work.
