LevellingUp::Aspiring Artists

Registration for the Levelling Up Aspring Artist Mastermind group is now open...more information can be found online here. We work together as part of a small supportive group to hone your style and find your creative voice. Memberships are available on a monthly basis 

AM I AN ASPIRING ARTIST?  As an aspiring artist, you have been creating on the side, as a hobby, and now you're ready to take it to the next level.

YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

• technique - color and composition
• art critiques - get feedback on your artwork to help you narrow and hone your style
• supplies and tools - where to save and where to spend
• marketing - learn to write your artist statement and CV, build your brand, launch a website, maximize your social media
• price artwork – because your time and talent have value

Members discover 4 key benefits at LevellingUp:

1. You get to know (and to be known by) and become part of the community of a successful & skilled Master Artist
2. You’ll develop skills – both technical and business – in just a few months that otherwise would have taken years, if not decades
3. With face-to-face conversation and feedback on homework assignments, you’ll learn quickly how to take your artwork from good to excellent
4. You get to connect daily with a safe and trusted community of your fellow artists, giving and receiving encouragement, helpful ideas, and opportunities to network

LevellingUp’s Mastermind groups are high-impact apprenticeship communities. There are a maximum of 8 Member artists in each Mastermind group, plus a Navigator facilitator, plus the Master.Your group meets with your Master Artist once monthly for a 2 hour live mentoring session using Zoom. Between monthly sessions, you get support and encouragement from your artist peers on LevellingUp’s private discussion board, LUchat.
During the first hour of each monthly session the Master provides feedback on the homework you completed since your last session. The second hour of each session is spent in new teaching, with the teaching focused on what your Master feels you need to know next to progress on your artist journey. Every session ends with a homework assignment related to the teaching.
Since there is no homework to review in the first session, the first hour of the first Mastermind session typically has the Master ensuring they fully understand the needs of each Member. This time is also a great opportunity for you to get to know the other artists in the group.

​Members tell us the safe community their group provides gives them the encouragement and support essential to venture out into new territory.
