host: Alyson Stanfield

I want to talk about something that I think gets in the way of how you think about what a successful art business is or can be.

I want to help you reframe your daily decisions, actions, and results (or lack thereof)—to embrace the volatility of an artist life. To understand that there will be highs and lows, and that just comes along with the territory.

One of the most-used business metaphors is the ladder of success, which is problematic for two reasons:

  1. Nobody reaches the top of anything in life by going straight up.
  2. What happens when you get to the top?

I have a different vision. Your art career is a circle consisting of 3 areas:

Inspiration+Research, Studio Practice, and Business+Marketing.

You’re a sphere (okay, a ping pong ball) bouncing back and forth from one area to the next as you grow your art career.
