– Any visual artist at any career level: beginner, mid-career, established.

– It isn’t for everyone. But in today’s creator economy, you’re seriously behind if you don’t have an art-career foundation in place.

And, even before you start listening, you get the Vision Questionnaire with 28 art-career questions, each one helping you lay out exactly what you want from your art career right now.

I’m Ariane Goodwin, Ph.D., an artist ally for over 20 years. During my doctoral program in Creativity and Human Development, I became obsessed with this: Why do artist find it so hard to write an artist statement?

Which led me to write — WRITING THE ARTIST STATEMENT: REVEALING THE TRUE SPIRIT OF YOUR WORK — the only book, then and now, on artist statements.

That led me into private coaching, which led me to this: Why do artists fail to consider what they do as a career? A practice, yes. A business, maybe. But a career fell to the renown or dead ones (so-and-so’s career retrospective).

That led to the smARTist Telesummit, a professional development conference where I challenged artists to put on their career cloak-of-many-colors. Back then, I was a lone voice in the art-career wilderness.

Now, the very thing I begged artists to consider—an art-career—is a thriving, online reality. But, you still need the ever-green building blocks in this conference-podcast for a successful career.

– You’ll learn the same ever-green, art-career material that thousands of artists from around the world had access to: from selling your art, to publicity tips & tricks, to getting buyers without a gallery (and before Instagram), or nailing a museum exhibition, and how to talk to gallery owners, or decide if licensing is for you, as well as the basic mistakes of most artist statements, and more.

It’s the art-career resource that artists returned to year after year.

– No. It’s $97.

This 7-day conference ran every year for six years–before I burned out. Now that I’m back on a new site (arianegoodwin.com), I’m reviving this conference as podcasts so even more artists, like you, can benefit.

Yes, some technology has changed. Yes, there are newer social media opportunities. But, making and selling art, like building a sailboat, is 95% evergreen.

This material is foundational no matter what stage your art career finds itself.

– Funny you should ask. Because… there are no other art-career, professional development conferences online or off.

The magnitude of pulling together over a dozen experts & successful artists for 7 days of gritty, hands-on, action-oriented art career presentations for six years was craaaazy hard. And craaazy worth it.

– The original conference cost $495 to attend. A single coaching session from some of the presenters would cost you from $350 up to $1000.

You may listen to the presentations as many times as you need. And the bonus workbooks can be used over and over as the actions you take move your career forward.

– That depends on which action steps you take consistently. If you follow the individual workshops, and begin implementing the material right away, expect some good traction in 60 to 90 days. You can likely advance your art career in 3 to 12 months. If you do nothing, you won’t see results.

– No, the podcast is self-guided and self-paced. Remember, you have the Vision Questionnaire, which gives you a customized structure for listening for what you need, right now.

Plus, the Before, During, and After “Stay-on-Track Worksheets,” are a guided support system where you match the specific ideas you hear to the action steps you need to take for what you identified as your career’s most pressing issues right now.

– Absolutely. You can access smARTist Revival Podcast #1 for as long as you’d like, with no extra payment.
