Here’s some of our classes:
You’re talented but when someone asks you to describe your art you stumble over your words and feel like you can’t fully explain it in a way they will understand...
You wish you had a community of artists just as talented as you to bounce ideas off of and collaborate with, but all the artists you know are not on their grind like you and look to you for advice all the time so you feel alone...
You have gone to all the conferences, read all the blogs, listened to all the experts and FOLLOWED their advice, yet you’re still broke and can’t seem to create consistent cash flow with your art every month...
It’s time to let it all go and create the life and career you never thought was possible... Take classes at The Artist Empowerment Business Academy

“My overall experience with academy has been wonderful. Every promise that was made to me before I joined the academy has been met. I would tell them to jump in with both feet because, all the information and support that you can get from the program are priceless”
It’s the best place for artists to learn how to be entrepreneurs. I feel extremely empowered. Every aspect of this is great. I have connected with other artists and when I reach out, I always get quick and great responses..
“DO IT!! It will be the best decision for your artistry and where it's going that you can ever make.”
“The Academy has helped spotlight issues I didn't realize were so important. I am a busy person and sometimes I'm not sure which careerbuilding project to devote my attention to first because there are so many. Now I am seeing priorities more clearly and have more specific goals because of this.”
I like that this was presented as topics instead of one major course where you know up front every single thing you will cover. I like knowing it will be smaller pieces of information.
“My biggest struggle was focus, trying to do one thing at a time without being overwhelmed. The academy is helping with sections of things to do (finance, etc...)”
I love that the quality expertise offered is accessible and affordable. I know that I am interacting with professionals that are fufilling a purpose with passion. It provides a safe place for artists to continue to grow and cultivate their dreams.
“I loved seeing that it's not just musicians in the Academy, it's artists, jewelry makers, etc. Great mix of people.”
“My favorite module was about how to control your money like a boss. It helped me understand the areas where I am succeeding financially with regard to my music income, and where there is room for improvement. I liked that it was affordable.”
I liked Pamela's course. I think it will really ground me in my financial reality. Very useful information.
“The people. I love that there's a variety of entrepreneurs, not just musicians. It gives you a different perspective. This group is now a place I can turn to, it's great that we can encourage one another.”
I've admittedly struggled with certain aspects of marketing, and also struggled with implementing different mindsets, as change is never easy. I like being able to learn different approaches to taking charge of my life as an artist, and learning a new mindset towards my business goals. You can learn so much in this program. It makes sense to learn this approach!"
