Media Training for Artists
What is the one thing that separates successful artists from artists that nobody knows about?

It isn’t talent, because sometimes the best artists are the ones with all their work stashed away in a closet. It isn’t age. It isn’t gender. It isn’t race. It isn’t location. It isn’t whether they are dead or not. So what is it?

The one thing that separates successful artists from the rest is their work is available for people to experience. Successful artists connect their work with people. They create opportunities for people to absorb their work and allow it to become part of their psyche. 

What good is art in your closet?

If you would like to become one of the artists that contributes to the cultural fabric of our society and is recognized for having a unique vision… then you need to connect your art with people!

One of the best ways to connect your art with lots of people is through the MEDIA.When I say media, I’m referring to radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, and the internet.

After years of experience interviewing artists on my radio show and writing about artists for my art column, as well as being an artist myself, trying to get publicity, I have learned a lot of things. I’ve witnessed some amazing stuff, I’ve seen some embarrassing moments, I’ve made lots of mistakes and I’ve experienced my own personal successes.

After over a decade of analyzing how artists can use the media to get recognition and build their legacy I’ve uncovered 7 mistakes that artists make when they attempt to get their work into the media. I’ve realized there are 10 critical pieces of information you must have if you want to be in the media, and 10 things that will make or break your media exposure.

If you would like to take your art career to the next level and want to expand your unique vision into the hearts and minds of more people then I strongly recommend that you invest in this workshop:
