Reclaiming Your Year - Even Now (#60)

I'm a planner, and I like helping artists plan. I'm good at it! If
you've taken any of my courses, or even read my book, you
anticipate that there will be at least one plan involved.

This is one of the special episodes I'm adding since Covid hit—a
topic that will help you stay in control of your art business.


In talking with my students and clients, I realize how
devastating this year has been. Truth be told, I didn't really
have to talk with them to know that their plans had been dashed,
but it helps to understand the extent.


The pandemic has wreaked havoc on everyone's plans. Canceled
shows and travel. Shuttered studios and exhibition spaces. And
the kids! Suddenly the kids are at home and you are tasked with
the awesome responsibility of their education. You're on Zoom all
of the time, so that brief sigh of relief you felt for not having
to get dressed and put on makeup was short-lived.


In the early days of the outbreak, I encouraged my clients and
students to plan just 1 week at a time. We didn't know what was
going to happen. How long things would be closed. I wanted them,
again, to control what they could and not worry about months into
the future.


We now know that Covid is going to be with us for the foreseeable
future. The planner in me said, Okay! Time for a new plan!


So I developed a short program to help you do this. Read about

This episode is sponsored my signature business-building program
for artists, the Art Career Success System.


All of the lessons you learn in the Art Career Success System are
tasks you will address repeatedly throughout your art business
and career—like rewriting your artist statement, submitting
exhibition proposals, developing content, and nurturing your
connections.


In the ACSS you will build a strong foundation that will last
throughout your career.
