Momentum 2026: Start the New Year Right

How our new Artswell class series helps artists build clarity, confidence, and a stronger business:

The new year brings possibility, and for many artists, thoughts like:  How do I turn my creative work into a sustainable practice?  Or how do I continue to sustain in this economy?

As the creative landscape continues to evolve, artists are expected to balance studio practice with marketing, pricing, grant writing, digital presence, and long-term planning. All those things can leave many artists feeling overwhelmed, especially at the start of a new year when expectations are high and time feels scarce. 

Momentum 2026: Start the New Year Right is our upcoming series of classes designed to help artists begin the year with focus, practical tools, and renewed confidence in their business.  This series is designed to meet artists wherever they are in their career: emerging artists building professional habits, established artists seeking a reset or new direction or anyone who wants their business practices to better support their creative goals. Momentum 2026 is built around a core goal: helping artists create forward motion.

Momentum 2026: Start the New Year Right is designed to work together or stand alone, depending on each artist’s needs. Topics focus on the essential building blocks of an artist’s business, including:

• Clarifying goals for the year ahead
  Living your Core Values: A Framework for Aligned Decision Making

• Developing business structures
