Artists Who THRIVE

Do you have unique artistic talent and something to say to the world?

Then you must make art.

Do want to be heard?

Then you must sell art.

By now you have realized that no one is coming to save you and that you are not going to be discovered.

So welcome to a supportive, rather than a competitive, art agnostic community of Artists Who THRIVE who are securing their creative freedom through focused business savvy. 

This is an invitation to talented, hard working artists who are done with the broken, permission and scarcity based art establishment, and who are taking full responsibility for their success by taking an entrepreneurial approach to selling their art.

We are on mission to empower artists and to eliminate the dysfunctional myth of the “starving artist” and to replace it with a focused business mindset grounded in values.

 We want artists to be successful and fully self-expressed because the world is a better place with inspired art.

 The good news is that people are buying art. Our challenge is to create unique value above and beyond the art itself and to find and serve our tribes. And that is something they don't teach you in art school. 

 What are most artists missing? Business strategy.

 Ground Rules:

1. This Meet Up is about meeting the challenges of selling art with creative problem solving and learning and sharing empowering art business strategies.

2. This is an art business forum. So there are no art critiques and there will be no art direction.

3. Whining is strictly prohibited. We know its hard but focusing on that will not make it possible to THRIVE. 

If these ground rules sincerely resonate with you, and you believe that you can contribute, you are welcome.

If you cannot hang with these ground rules, this is just not the group for you.
