You have ambitions for your practice. You have goals you want to reach, things you want to accomplish.

Maybe you want to…
  • Make a plan to tackle an ambitious project you care about.
  • Develop a new body of work and apply to opportunities.
  • Leave your job and start a new career with art at the heart of it.
  • Score a solo exhibition for your work.

Let’s face it: getting there on your own can be HARD. Being a creative can be a lonely and isolating experience, and there are so many goal-setting pitfalls that artists fall into.

Maybe you’re struggling with knowing what you actually want vs. goals you think you should want.
Maybe you’re struggling with knowing how to prioritize multiple goals.
Maybe you’re struggling with how to set clear goals you can actually accomplish.

If this resonates, this workshop is for you.

We'll learn about common goal-setting pitfalls, and teach you a FRAMEWORK for setting and reaching your creative goals.

What we'll cover:
  • Your bigger vision - What do you really want for your creative work?
  • Your creative season - What are your current resources and limitations?
  • Your goals - What do you want to bring into focus?
  • Your actions - What are the steps you need to take NOW to get where you want to go.
You'll leave with a roadmap for your practice and practical next steps.
