Transform your Art Practice and Income into a Creative Life you Love
A 6-Week Online Mentoring Programme
for Emerging Visual Artists and Creatives.
With Anna Jane Gillison (Anna Jane & Co.)
& Guest expert Lucy Dujmovich (Studio Inner West)
Are you a talented artist or creative who feels stuck, undervalued, and unsure how to build a side hustle or income stream that actually aligns with who you are?
Most creatives don't struggle because they lack talent, they struggle because they lack clarity, a clear path forward, and the foundations to build a life and income they love.
That's exactly why we created the Artist's Blueprint Program - the program we wish we'd had when we were starting out and feeling stuck ourselves.
Inside the Program
The Artist's Blueprint is a practical 6-week roadmap designed to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and create momentum in your creative practice.
Through six pre-recorded video modules and accompanying workbooks, you'll be guided step-by-step through the foundations of building a sustainable and fulfilling creative life.
Each workbook is packed with practical exercises, resources, valuable arts industry contacts, and support networks.
Anna and Lucy will be available throughout the course to provide clarification and support on the module content where needed.
