“I have over 15 years experience as an arts manager, curator and gallery director so I understand the struggles that artists face in getting their work exhibited and have invaluable insight into the solutions.” says Sheelah.

“Each session is private and one to one. We’ll discuss your work and your goals and together we’ll devise a plan of action for you climb up the business of art ladder.”

These sessions are perfect for any artist with some previous experience of selling or exhibiting their work who has a specific issue they need assistance with such as, how to increase prices or how to apply to art galleries, for example.

“The clinic offers one-to-one, one-hour meetings for artists with previous experience selling their work but struggling with some specific aspect of the business.” Sheelah adds.

All you need to bring is a notebook, a pen and some examples of your work or portfolio (not essential).
