Testimonials

“Laura’s workshop will help jump start your journey towards a more creative life. You’ll leave inspired and with a clear sense of the steps you need to take.  I would recommend this class too because of the sense of community and momentum.  It was empowering to feel connected to other local artists with similar experience.

HOW TO MAKE A LIVING IN THE ARTS:

A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

  

Tired of Not Living an Authentic Life?

Not Sure How To Support Yourself Doing What You Really Love?

But how??? Conventional wisdom says it’s nearly impossible to support oneself--in comfort--doing creative work.  Well, what if that weren’t true?

HOW TO MAKE A LIVING IN THE ARTS explodes myths of impossibility by teaching you concrete, proven, steps for achieving your ideal artist's life. Unlike other artist-in-business workshops that focus primarily on marketing, this workshop takes a comprehensive approach, looking at real issues like competition, self-doubt, finding time to create, skepticism from those around us, and much more.  Most importantly, this workshop approaches art and money in a completely new way, helping you to see how doing what you really want to do with your life is not just a personal indulgence, but a mandatory action. Studying with me, you will: 

1. •Construct a passionate vision for your life as a creative person;
   

1. •Unleash your artistic social entrepreneur;
   

1. •Find a market for your work based on your unique contributions;
   

1. •Manage self-doubt and "naysayers";
   

1. •Identify meaningful income streams;
   

1. •Model your career on the lives of already successful artists;
   

1. •Make the transition from your current life to your ideal artist's life.
   

Most importantly, you will walk away from this workshop with a strategic plan, action steps, and a community, all helping you move directly toward your dream!
