HARD KNOCK FACTS
-
Top 25 most expensive colleges are art schools
-
Avg. BFA goes for $45K/year
-
Avg. MFA goes for $50K/year
-
Visual artists in the lowest 10% earn less than $20,070, while those in the top 10% earn upwards of $112,970
-
A college graduate with a BFA who is working at an art supplies store & freelancing is still going to be close to low income.
BUT What if…
We could solve this issue in 90 days with a seasoned expert who could customize your experience towards becoming the artist in business you WANT to be...

*NEW* Unicorn Artist in Business Template
(value: priceless because I created it for my clients & doesn't exist!)
That's what they said...
“Showing up means you know wtf is up!” is just one of my fav gems from Terri. She is always dropping gems! I’m appreciative and grateful to have been a part of this community as it has really changed my CEO mindset. As a result, I have been holding myself more accountable and showing TF up for my business! As an artist, business owner and teacher herself, Terri is understanding of our busy lifestyles but blunt in telling us when we’re slacking. Settling is not an option and Terri is always there to help us refocus, offer up encouragement and make us laugh in the mix.
Thank you Terri, love ya art mom!
"This course has given me creative as well as business incentives as I explore and define my brand, to discover my artistic identity and commit to it. I joined this program to get serious about my career as an artist. I wanted to graduate from making my word art a hobby to a focused practice, to level up, as Terri would say.
But first I had to combat some imposer syndrome, limiting beliefs, and the constant feeling of just not being able to hack it. But, I wanted to learn, and when I really thought about it, I had goals. I did not want to flail in the whirlpool of social media when I had something real to share, that I was proud of, and wanted to create a business from it. But didn't know where to start."
"I had these tiny 4 in x 4 in canvases and I vowed to fill them, to keep going, to explore and see what would burst out and in what medium. I actually finished it and will have it on display and for sale next month in an actual gallery, a milestone that I wouldn't have achieved without the confidence to probe and play during The Creative Process."
"Today I am less afraid of stepping into my CEO self, knowing what I am worth, and where my strengths lie. I want to show more of my process, the experimentation, instead of the illusion of perfection I was striving for. As result I have fined tuned my creative habits and am willing to take risks in showing how I work, and more of my authentic self out there is Media Land.
The best part was being in the Zoom room with 7 other individuals who inspire me as we've been navigating our different stages and talents together. And there is so much more I want to achieve.
"Terri's breadth of knowledge and work ethic is unicorn status"

-
Do I have to attend all meetups?The quick answer is YES! Our contract states you should plan on attending at least 80% of meetups. All dates are pre-determined when you join (so months in advance) and are only 90min. long. The only way a collective can truly be a collective is by showing up, being present, engaging and sharing. We operate under the assumption everyone is committed to our family, sisterhood, tribe and enjoy being together whenever possible. Its the amazing support of it's members that the community thrives off of and the experience is unlike any other because of this. We understand shit happens and we completely understand that but please make adjustments in advance so you can show up for each other.
-
How do I drop in on a meetup?Above on this page, specify which month you’d like to drop in on and make a payment through the PayPal button on the “Drop-In” selection.

These calls are invaluable to the success of your business because it allows you an accountability partner along with someone who's had first hand experience in this field to bounce off of with new perspective.
