If gaining the skills and knowledge you need to increase your income and reach and professionalise your creative activities is what you need help with you’ll find the tailer-made 1:1 arts business training programs to be invaluable.
These programs are most helpful to:
- visual artists, photographers or makers
- creatives starting or growing a service-based/ freelance creative business
- creatives who already have a business but who aren’t seeing the results they want
- people who are employed but who wish to start a creative side business
- creatives who are also parents and want a program that is flexible and effective.
I offer three different business/career training programs:
1. Arts Business Training for Visual Artists and Makers – this program is for artists and makers with a product to sell such as paintings or hand-made objects who wish to increase their income and reach. It covers topics such as pricing your work, your UVP, social media management, networking, sales conversations, events and exhibitions, gaining press for your work, time management and finding partnerships.
“Rachel has been coaching me since May this year and I have doubled the total of last year’s sales in just the first four months so far, she is amazing!” – Joanne Stead
2. Business Planning and Implementation – this program is for creative businesses who are just starting out and need to define your vision, assess the viability of your product or service, define your unique value proposition, pricing, budgeting and core marketing strategies.
“Rachel was essential in helping us embrace our vision and give focus to the key aspects of our new venture. She was always encouraging, friendly and gave us perspective and orientation on both the creative and practical sides of our business.” Selektor
3. Arts Career Development – this program is for university arts graduates who wish to follow the traditional path of finding funding, participating in residencies, exhibiting in galleries and so forth. It covers all aspects of building a professional art career from setting your studio production hours and choosing meaningful creative projects, planning your career development activities over a year, to networking skills and resilience training.
Program Benefits:
- It’s 100% tailored to your needs including your time, energy and health constraints. We’ll play to your strengths and build from your current skill level.
- Skip the unnecessary. Make fast progress. Group workshops are great but simply not as effective as personalised support.
- It is delivered in a coaching style rather than pure info-dump which means you will be implementing what you learn as you go, tweaking for results and gaining feedback along the way.
- What you learn in these sessions will benefit you for many years to come and be able to be applied in a diverse range of situations.
- It’s holistic training. In the safe environment of the coaching sessions, you are able to bring up your fears and self-doubts about implementing your big visions and be supported with relevant mindset work so you can maintain your courage and increase your confidence. Often, it’s these soft-skills that make the biggest difference in your forward growth.
- There is the option to record our meetings or calls so you don’t forget anything that was covered.
- You’re learning from someone who has direct hands-on experience, not just theoretical knowledge.
Program Investment
Each program is 790€ with the option to add-in additional support such as personalised research (save yourself the time) and other hands-on support.
I highly recommend you simply book a consultation with myself to have a relaxed and obligation free conversation about what might suit you best.
