We’re passionate about helping your art business grow and make an impact.
Hi from Adriana and Jackie!
As friends, podcast hosts, creative mentors, and visual artists, we have experienced first hand the highs and lows of the creative journey. With years of overcoming challenges and a commitment to leveling up our skills, we have learned what it takes to run a sustainable creative business. Through creative collaboration we’ve seen the value of pulling from our diverse perspectives: Adriana is a Puerto Rican artist with a background in Business and Technology. Jackie is a Maryland artist with a background in Fine Art, Exhibition Design, and Marketing.
With both of our studios open to the public, we found ourselves fielding some of the same questions to dozens of visiting artists and aspiring creatives. In comparing notes, we realized they were mostly about business, technology, and marketing. There’s a lot of information out there on these topics, but it’s too general and not tailored to the needs of a creative business. That’s when we decided to put our heads together to share resources with career-minded artists who can rise together in the spirit of community over competition.
