Being an artist doesn’t stop at making art — we wish!

You’re already creating amazing work — often while holding down another job (we know the feeling — we still juggle both too!). But then comes everything else: promoting yourself, answering emails, keeping your socials alive, doing your accounts, packaging work — it’s a lot.

That’s where we step in.

We’ve learned the hard way — missed chances, awkward, time consuming follow-ups, and countless "wish we’d said that!" moments. So this month, we’re sharing the stuff we wish someone had told us sooner — split into three informative parts:

🎙️ Conversations — how to talk about your work without cringing
🤝 Networking — building real connections that don’t feel fake
📬 Following Up — the magic of that second email (and what to say)

Because making art is just the beginning — now let’s make sure the world sees it, connects with it, and supports it.

Thank you for being here,
Emma + Eve
