Episode Synopsis


Welcome to another episode of The Zen Courses Show! I am thrilled to have Alyson Stanfield joining us today. Alyson has been working with artists for many years. Today, she’s here to share a behind the scenes look at Art Biz Coach and her Art Career Success System (ACSS), which has helped many of her clients grow their careers. Alyson has a lot to share about building an art career, the challenges she faced in her business journey, and some tips as a coach working with artists.
A quick note from Alyson: Since this interview, Art Biz Coach has become Art Biz Success.
I believe that artists are so valuable to the world; I will do everything I can to help them
After teaching artists for a while, Alyson developed a framework called Art Career Success System.
ACSS is composed of 4 programs. One is the Creative Content Camp, which helps artists create their contents. Another component is the Fan Boosting Formula, which teaches artists about cultivating relationships in your art career. Thirdly, Art Biz Accelerator, which is about the places where you show and sell your art. Lastly, we have the Magnetic You which is all about presentation, speaking and branding as an artist.
