Learn a proven step-by-step process on how to plan your own art exhibit, reach more buyers and sell more art, WITHOUT the hassle of going through galleries, grants or gatekeepers!
My process makes it easy and I will guide you every step of the way.
You’ve probably heard the saying “people buy art from people they know.” And the best way to get to know new buyers to know you is to have them SEE your artwork in REAL LIFE!
This is true.
But what ISN’T true is the other thing you might have heard, and that is this: “the only way to exhibit your art is through galleries.”
HERE’S WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW:
Art exhibitions put on BY THE ARTIST are much more successful than those put on by a gallery.
Many artists are fighting to get into a gallery, thinking it’s their answer. But that’s chasing a dying ideal. These days, traditional gallery exhibitions are the LEAST effective path to a successful exhibition.
For one thing, galleries reject 90% of the artists who come calling.
Ouch! (You don’t deserve that!)
And if you are one of the artists “lucky” to be represented by a gallery, you still might not get the success you seek. Why? Well... most galleries insist on doing it THEIR way, which doesn’t work, because most of them do not know how to get art collectors to your exhibition. They make you do most of the work. They want you to invite your OWN clients. Then, they demand 50% of your sales and they won’t even give you the names of YOUR OWN buyers!
You DESERVE to have the exhibition of your dreams, NOW, without the blessing of a gallery. Why now? Because you don’t want to let yet another year go by, waiting for someone else to make your dreams as an artist come true.
You DESERVE to keep your artistic integrity by exhibiting the artwork YOU want to show. Instead of being told by a gallery that “only green is selling this year,” you deserve to fully express and show the artwork that inspires YOU.
You DESERVE to do it on your own terms. You don’t want someone else telling you how many art pieces you can exhibit or on what day and when. YOU deserve to call all the shots!
You DESERVE to know who your art buyers are! Everyone who comes to your exhibit is YOUR client and you deserve the right to maintain the relationship (rather than hand it over to a gallery).
You DESERVE the right to decide how much money you’ll keep from your art sales. No more handing over half of your hard earned money. You should be in control of 100% of your sales earnings.
Now, some of you might be thinking:
I’m not well known yet, I’m not experienced enough, I don’t know exactly where I’m going with my art.
And this is where I have to tell you, IT DOESN’T MATTER where you are in your career as an artist. You can plan your first exhibit or your 100th exhibit, on your own terms. And you can start planning it today.
SO YOU CREATE ART. And you would love to exhibit it.
BUT WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NEXT?
The first step is to know what it is that you want.
Do you want to grow your collector list?
Do you want to become known for your work?
Do you want to earn a living with your art?
Once you know WHY you want to exhibit your art, then you can move onto the next step. And it’s so much easier than you think, once you have the process.
THE FACT IS, MOST ARTISTS DON’T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE FIRST STEP to plan a successful art exhibition!
Here’s why: we have so many bull rules thrown at us from the art world that our heads are spinning! It’s almost as though we have been told that we don’t DESERVE this. That it’s not POSSIBLE to do what we dream of doing.
For decades art “experts” have told us that we have to be in a gallery; but then the galleries reject us or they don’t take proper care of us.
For years we’ve been told that we have to win contests or have an MFA for our art to be “worthy”
Think about this for a minute: The art world that embraces creativity and individuality is the SAME WORLD that scorns you if you step out of line! It’s the same world that told Picasso that his art was “schizophrenic.”
And this is what keeps artists stuck in place, year after year: fear of not being good enough, worry that they aren’t worthy and waiting for their big break that never comes.
I've got great news for you!
You don’t have to follow anyone else’s rules! Today is that day that you DISCOVER YOURSELF. And I will show you how.
Remember the galleries and art “experts” that I mentioned earlier? They are the gatekeepers; the people who say “yay” or “nay” to your art.
Here’s a secret: They don’t have to control your career if you choose not to let them!
For some reason, art “experts” never talk about this, but, there are so many places to exhibit your artwork! And you may not realize it, but, there are opportunities where someone else will host your exhibit, invite buyers and not charge you a dime. These “hosts” and “sponsors” are easier to get than you can imagine. (And I'll show you how, step-by-step.)
Art comes easily to some of us, and so it’s hard to see how much joy and value it brings others. “Why would someone want to see my art?” Well, a properly planned exhibition will create value for every single attendee.
It’s easier than you think, once you learn. I’ve put on nearly 100 art exhibits from small to large! I have a super easy-to-follow process that takes you from the seed of an idea to a successful art exhibition.
Your art doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be a strong seller. There, I said it! (They’ll be coming after me now…)
It doesn’t matter if you are a master oil painter or a digital artist or just learning how to hone your skills; if you implement just a few strategies to show your art to the right people, it will sell.
Just look around at some of the successful artists that are creating art that is, well, not your favorite. But they are selling a lot of it. Ever wonder why?
I’ve spent two decades solving this puzzle, and here’s what I discovered:
No matter what you create, there are people out there who will love it, and if you learn how to draw them into your circle and get them to attend your exhibitions, they will become collectors (buyers) for life.

Shows you how to plan a memorable exhibition from start to finish: It’s not enough to just exhibit your art; just a few extra little details will make your exhibit memorable enough for people to talk about it for years to come.
Guides you to TAKE CONTROL of your art career so that you call all the shots:
Your art, your rules. There is a way for YOU to decide how you want things to go. YOU get to meet your buyers. YOU get to determine where the revenues will go. YOU deserve to choose all of the details.
Teaches you the secret to teaming up with a large organization to quantum leap your collector base. There are dozens of ways to team up with a large organization and have them host your event, introduce it to their big buyer base and even pay for everything. It’s not that hard, and I'll show you my secret process.
Reveals three super-secret formulas to: (Secret strategies that I reserve only for my coaching clients, and now YOU)
1 - Get art sales BEFORE opening night (in a way that works for everyone!)
2 - Create a “buying frenzy” during your opening in a way that not only sells art but makes it fun for all of your buyers
3 - Get sales AFTER opening night, and for the weeks that follow (this is magic!)
A complete easy-to-follow process for artists to reach new buyers, show their work and sell more art!
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from the last twenty years of bypassing the gallery system to exhibit my husband Drew Brophy’s art, and put it into this course.
ART EXHIBITS THAT SELL isn’t so much a training program as it is a PROCESS that you can use, again and again, for the rest of your life as an artist. It will enable you to take control of your art, your future and your sales.
You’ll learn the strategies I've used to plan art exhibitions that convert to sales (and very happy fans).
You'll plan an art exhibition that you deserve; one that shows your art proudly and that helps you get the art into the hands of people who will value it!
In this course, I will hold your hand through the process. I'm committed to helping you get results!
The strategies I teach will be in easy to follow step-by-step instructions so that you can benefit from it again and again, throughout your life.
My promise to you is this: you WILL take your art business to the next level with this process.
Why do I care so much about art exhibitions? Because I know that in-person art shows are where it’s at for long term art sales. Showing your work live is also the single best way to do it, because, your art is going to be appreciated more in person than if someone sees it on a computer screen. You are more likely to sell your art at a live event than you are online.
There’s one more thing; I have a problem with the idea that an artist has to “starve.” I can’t stand the old notion that artist’s can’t make it with their art. I know it’s a lie and I want to see artists take back control of their destiny.
I suppose it’s personal for me. You see, after Drew and I had been rejected again and again and again from galleries, we had a choice: give up, or take matters into our own hands.
Being rejected is a terrible feeling. But we didn’t let it make us quit. Instead, we decided to figure out how to put on our own exhibition.
Over the years, we have experimented with everything from renting a space, to getting other people to host our exhibitions in their venue, to even exhibiting at trade shows and conferences.
We learned how to choose the best venue, how to get the media to write about it (for free) and how to get real buyers to the exhibition.
We learned simple little sales techniques that are easy to do but that make a huge increase in art sales during the exhibition.
We also learned how to make our collectors happy as can be, not only through the art but also in how we presented it to them.
And, best of all, we have sold a lot of art this way!
And I'm passing all of this knowledge onto you!
You will have access to me via this online community, as well as other artists just like you. This is where you’ll go to get your most pressing questions answered quickly and accurately, learn from what other artists are doing, and I will be popping in frequently to share my answers as well. It’s a safe, private group where we all can rest assured that anything we say will be kept inside the group.
