The Pure 'Grow your Art Business' foundation programme aims to help ambitious and motivated artists develop a personal understanding of their practice, gain essential industry knowledge and business skills needed to unlock their potential and fast track their career growth, without allowing old habits, negative limiting beliefs, fear and overwhelm to hold them back from your dream art life.
This CPD accredited programme has been created by Pure Founder and award winning artist mentor Lesley Samms MSc ANLP MAC FRSA, based on her 30 years plus experience working in the worlds of finance and marketing, running galleries and large scale art fair events, and working directly with artists in their studios delivering 1-2-1 support.
The programme consists of 5 modules plus 1 welcome and 1 warm up module, delivered via individual workbooks and PDF activity and reflection sheets.
Critically, it also includes 4 hours of 1 to 1 support, monthly accountability and regular Pure Potential Q&A sessions delivered via zoom. (Additional 1-2-1 support can be purchased at £95 per hour for members/£190 ph for non members, plus travel expenses where relevant).
