KATHY BEEKMAN
Art Career Workshops
I collaborate with independent art alliances, art centers and schools, artist associations and others to present art business & professional development content that artists and creatives need now.
As a professional artist myself, I understand the artist's world. I have experienced the tough balance of creating art while building a successful business. I enjoy sharing the secrets and techniques I have mastered, and shorten the learning curve for artists as they progress down this same path.
These workshops provide business and career planning, goal setting, portfolio and marketing tactics, and other necessary skills to artists of all disciplines–from those who are starting out, to those who are ready to pivot, to those who just need a refresher. Ready to draw new artists into your community and help your artist community thrive?
