For the last twenty some odd years, I've worked with artists, both emerging and established, who genuinely want to build a successful career. Twelve years ago I founded ArtPro and began working with artists, individually and in groups, helping them to identify where they wanted to take their career and the best route for getting there. Together, we rewrite bios, identify their target audience, identify the best avenues for getting their work "out there" and design a marketing/public relations plan that they are comfortable with and one that focuses on taking their art to the next level.
I designed ArtPro Clinics to address these issues in a fast paced, hands-on, workshop with a limited group of artists. It is my goal to help each attending artist design a clear, doable marketing plan and leave with the necessary tools to successfully implement that plan.

I received an email from someone last year that read, "Our association might be interested in having you present a marketing workshop to our group but we'd like some information on your background. Do you have an MBA?" I had to chuckle. It reminded me of an analogy I heard once. "If you're going to go skydiving, would you rather talk to someone who has studied skydiving or someone who has actually been skydiving?"
I'm not an artist but I am a patron, a collector and an avid artist's advocate (plus I've been married to a full time artist -www.mikescovel.com - for over thirty years). I've worked with many artists, helping them launch, refresh or simply get a better grip on their career. Together, Mike and I made some great choices but we also made some really horrible ones. My goal has always been to provide artists with the knowledge they need to make better and more qualified choices, and hopefully, avoid the heartaches and frustrations that plagued us in the early years.
While I still give seminars to non-profit art associations, I found that most often, artists have specific questions they need answers to right now. With that in mind, I've added the ArtPro Information Center where I'm assembling many of the more common questions (and answers) I've received over the years. If you don't find the answer you're looking for here, please email me and I'll try to get an answer to you in a timely manner.
