Artist Transition Program
There's no such thing as an artist with one job....
This is what I was told when I was young, and it was true. I worked four jobs just to make my career happen. I was an acting teacher, a dance teacher, a stage manager, and a receptionist. Oh! and I was also trying to find time to make my own projects happen somewhere in those late hours. It was burnout on overdrive. When I left the arts full-time in 2024, I had no idea how to transition the skills I learned being an artist into a high-earning potential as an entrepreneur. I learned everything the hard way, to start and scale a successful for-profit company. Now I want to share what I've learned with fellow artists looking to transition into financial security.
- Position yourself as a business owner
- Have an earning potential of a six-figure salary
- Join a private cohort group of other artistic business owners
- Receive guidance, clarity, and encouragement for your success
The Artist Transition Program is a module-based, high-touch point coaching program for artists looking to make the leap into starting or scaling their own business. Specifically designed for artists by an artist with 20+ years in the performing arts industry in senior management positions.
