We ArtSHINE: We Teach, We Coach, We Talk, and We Walk the Talk
In the world of art and design, finding the right guidance and support can be a daunting task. With numerous programs and courses claiming to offer expertise in art licensing and business development, it’s essential to distinguish between those who merely talk the talk and those who genuinely walk the walk. At ArtSHINE, we pride ourselves on being in the latter category.
We Teach and We Coach
At ArtSHINE, our mission goes beyond simply providing educational resources. We believe in offering comprehensive coaching and mentoring to artists, designers, and creative professionals. Our approach is grounded in real-world experience and practical application, ensuring that our teachings are not just theoretical but actionable.
Our business system, OPIC (Objectives, Projects, Implementation, and Commitment), is a testament to our commitment to structured and results-oriented coaching. Designed specifically for creative professionals, OPIC helps artists and designers set clear goals, manage projects effectively, implement strategies, and see them through to completion. This system not only inspires but also holds creatives accountable, pushing them to achieve their full potential.
We Talk and We Walk the Talk
Unlike many other programs that offer theoretical knowledge, ArtSHINE is rooted in hands-on experience. We don’t just teach; we do. Our team comprises industry veterans with extensive experience in art licensing and surface design. We have navigated the complexities of the industry, secured deals, and built successful brands. This wealth of experience is what we bring to our coaching and mentoring sessions.
There are many educational programs that claim to turn you into an art licensing expert overnight. However, it’s crucial to scrutinize these claims. Some of these so-called experts have only a few years of experience and may not have a comprehensive understanding of the industry. At ArtSHINE, we believe that true expertise comes from years of consistent practice and success in the field. Our team members have not only worked in the industry for decades but have also continuously adapted to its evolving demands.
Regular Art Licensing Trade Shows
One aspect that sets ArtSHINE apart from other art business programs is our commitment to providing real-world opportunities for our artists. We regularly participate in art licensing trade shows, offering our artists the chance to showcase their work in a professional setting. These shows are pivotal for gaining visibility and connecting with potential licensors and industry professionals. Our artists have the opportunity to participate in up to 4-6 trade shows a year, significantly increasing their exposure and opportunities in the art licensing and surface design marketplace.
Supporting the Creative Community
We believe in the power of community. That’s why we have established private groups on Facebook and LinkedIn for our participants, artists, designers, and alumni. These platforms provide a space for creatives to connect, share their work, and support each other. Our ArtSHINE Licensing Artists Facebook group and Art Licensing & Surface Design CollectiveLinkedIn group are hubs of knowledge and inspiration, where members can learn from each other and grow together.
Launching Careers as Exhibiting Artists
At ArtSHINE, we provide our participating artists and designers with the unique opportunity to launch their careers as exhibiting artists. We offer 4-week shows where they can experience and launch their art collections. This exposure helps them build their brands, connect with art lovers and collectors, and establish relationships within the art and design industries.
Licensing Managers, Not Just Agents
At ArtSHINE, we refer to ourselves as Licensing Managers rather than just agents. This distinction is crucial as it reflects our comprehensive approach to managing your art and intellectual property. We don’t just act as intermediaries; we manage all aspects of your art licensing journey. This includes branding you as a licensing artist, developing strategies, and planning your career trajectory. Unlike typical agents who might only secure deals, we take a holistic approach to ensure your success and growth in the industry.
Conclusion
Choosing the right program for your artistic and professional development is crucial. At ArtSHINE, we don’t just offer advice; we actively participate in the art licensing and surface design industry. We provide our artists with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to succeed. From our OPIC business system to our regular trade shows and community groups, we are dedicated to walking the talk and helping our artists achieve their dreams. If you are serious about your art career, do your research and choose a program that not only teaches but also practices what it preaches.
