What They Don’t Teach You in Art School - Presentation at Il Lux Con 2022

The Artist APPEALS: The 7 Step System to Make Money with Your Art

As a college art professor for twelve years, teachers aim to teach you everything to prepare you for the real world. But there are things that you'll eventually learn as you go out beyond the four corners of art school.

So, my mission has been to impart the most important thing you need to learn as an artist - how to make money - through my work and experience as a licensed artist, book author, entrepreneur, and podcast show host.

In this week's episode, I'll let you in on my presentation at Il Lux Con 2022, where I teach how to create a marketing plan that sells your art.

If you don't know where to start in putting together an effective marketing plan that makes you money as an artist, then you're in the right place. Tune in now!
