Are you ready for 2019? Don’t wait til January to prepare! Now is the time that you should be reviewing how this year went. This helps you to put ideas and plans into place for next year. If this is something that you’ve never done effectively, I’d like to help. I’m devoting November and December to Micro-Consults focused on this topic
Get ready for next year.
My Get Ready for 2019 with an End of Year Review Micro-Consult is designed to help you use what you learned in 2018 to implement an effective business plan for 2019. This consult will provide you with a tool to help you effectively review the past year in all areas of your art business including marketing, sales, inventory, time management and productivity. Using this information will allow us to determine what steps you can take now to get ready for 2019. We will also develop a quarterly schedule for you to keep yourself on track over the coming year.

I love nothing better than working with artists who are eager to grow their businesses. If this sounds like you, we need to connect!
Also, I am excited to announce some enhancements to my Personal Consulting Package. The package still includes a review of your art business along with a written plan of recommended actions to take. I’ve added a follow-up component, including weekly email and monthly phone calls for three consecutive months after your consultation. I decided to add this component after “piloting” it with a recent client. She felt that the weekly check-ins were a big part of her being able to push her business forward, so I’ve decided this needs to be a part of the package.
Additionally, any lessons or programs that are included in my Sell Your Art program will be provided to you at no charge. Some of these tools include:
Finding Your Vision Lesson and Worksheet
Writing Your Artist Statement and Bio – Lesson and Worksheet
Sell Your Art Overview Video Presentation
Managing Your Contacts Tool
Managing Your Prospects Tool
The Personal Artist Consulting Package including all of the follow-up calls/emails and tools is $300.
I am currently scheduling consultations for January. There is a limited number of artists I can work with so I encourage you to commit now to doing this for your business in 2018.

Today was the first in a series of Art Marketing Round Table events in the Pittsburgh area. Full disclosure – we met at a rectangular table…but it worked! Eleven artists with a wide range of talents came together to learn about and discuss writing an artist statement. Everyone participated and shared thoughts, frustrations, and ideas about writing their statements.
The event was enough of a success that we decided to have a follow-up meeting in a few weeks after everyone takes the time to use what was learned today and work on their statements. Not only did we benefit from listening to other artist ideas, but some new relationships were formed.
If you missed today’s event, there is a second Round Table scheduled for this Saturday, June 24th. The event will be the same format that was facilitated today, to give another group of artists an opportunity to learn and grow in this area.
Thanks to Cindy Gilberti at Gilberti Fine Art Studio & Gallery for hosting the event, and thanks to the artists who came and participated fully in the discussion!
