Hi, I'm Miriam Schulman, artist business coach and author of the best-selling book Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity (HarperCollins, 2023), and back in the 90’s you’d find me at the World Trade Center in my Ann Taylor suits. I loved the income and lifestyle but felt disconnected from my life purpose. So when 911 happened, I knew that I couldn’t go back to that world.
Yet, I still didn’t believe that I could make a full-time living from art. At first, I painted on the side and taught Pilates at New York Sports Club. While working for the gym, I was introduced to selling strategies that the club wanted me to use to sell personal training packages. That's when I had my "aha" moment" because sales are skills that anyone can learn to sell anything.
Over the last twenty years, I've built a multiple 6-figure art business. When I launched The Inspiration Place podcast to give voice to my story, other artists wanted me to show them how I did it. That’s why I created The Artist Incubator Program: to help you see what deserves your attention next, get feedback when you need it, and follow through with support from artists who understand the work—all while making time to create your own art.
"I booked my biggest commission to date"
"I booked my biggest commission to date. I booked a $3,500 Commission. And it was the same size as one of the bigger pieces I've previously painted, but I charged $2,000 more this time."
- Kayla Thompson, West Fork, AR
“One of the best decisions I've ever made for my art business”
"I'm a lot more confident now about my pricing and really owning my pricing. I would say that this is one of the best decisions I've ever made for my art business."
- Camille Gerrick, Charlottesville, VA
Do you need an established style before you can market your art?
Is this all in the book?
"You achieve so much"
"You can achieve so much when you're actually focused with steps to follow."
~Vicky Beths, Goombungee, QLD
"I now sell out 90% of my collections"
"The Artist Incubator has given me the tools, the support, the encouragement, and the real-time talk to get there. I'm so incredibly thankful that I chose to do it."
"Thanks to the Artist Incubator program I now sell out 90% of my collections and am on my way to a sustainable living as a full-time artist."
~Dawn Trimble, Atlanta, GA
"Get Out of Your Own Way"
"Before joining the program, I felt hopeless because had no system to market and sell my art. My art business looks like a running machine now.
Each week I make progress on building my inventory, sharing my story, and gathering people that are interested in what I'm doing. We all deserve a little bit of magic and now I'm helping to bring that into the world. I'm on fire right now because I know what it takes to make this career happen and it's liberating."
~Peter Bragino, Amityville, NY
"Practical advice for MY type of business"
"Before the Incubator, I didn't really have a clue of priorities. I was totally overwhelmed. The program helped me figure out what needs to be done first and what to do next.
Having really practical advice for my type of business has made all the difference.
"People are taking me seriously. Now they respect that I'm a committed, serious artist and a real business person."
~Natasha Papousek, Lemon Grove, CA
“Believing in Myself!”
"Because of this Incubator, I am believing in myself for the first time, especially as an artist, but most importantly, as a person. That's worth more than anything."
~Deb Lund, Billings, Montana
"Made over $14,000 from my open studio"
“I just wanted to tell you how successful our Open Studio was We made $14,000 -- I did all the strategies that you taught me, and you would be very proud.”
~Ginny LaMont Naegeli, Franklin, MI
"The accountability pod is like a think-tank"
“Record breaking sales"
"Before the Incubator, I didn't know which way to turn, I didn't know anything about online marketing. My shows had been cancelled and I was really just overwhelmed by the future.
In the past few months, I have had record breaking sales at my art shows. I've had record breaking orders from the galleries that I've been delivering my artwork to, and galleries are ordering more art from me and the results have been fabulous."
~Linda Doucette, Millville, PA
“My business has grown exponentially”
"In six months, my business has grown exponentially. I doubled my prices. I've changed a lot. I was so unsure of myself. I questioned whether I should get things out there.
I'm stronger and I believe in myself more, and I can talk about myself and my art with no apologies."
~Rachel Le Roux, Muntinlupa City, Philippines
“My business has literally quadrupled”
"In the last year, my business has literally quadrupled and Miriam has been a key person in that journey for me. I’ll be so forever grateful for all of her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise. I had my first £10k month last month."
~Ciara Gilmore, Down, Northern Ireland
“I'm not the same person that I was before"
"There's been so much change within me over these past 6 months.
I'm not the same person that I was when I started.
And I'm very, very grateful. It's changed my life."
~Nicoline Mann, Nanaimo, Canada
"Already passed my income goal"
I was working five to seven days a week on my other job for the last six months, and I've still by far had my most successful year I've ever had. I've already passed my income goal just by implementing as much as I could in the time that I had while I was working 60 hours a week on another job.
~Elizabeth Mordensky, Gainsville, VA
"It’s striking how much more useful and actionable The Artist Incubator is compared to other "how-to-be-a-professional artist" courses. This program is more expensive but oh my God, so much better! The difference in quality is like night and day. The Incubator has marketing, website design, motivation, and more. The different angles help me absorb the information. I’m making tons of progress and am excited about my future."
~Bonny Shilton, Warren, OH
"This program is focused on what I need"
"Well, before the Incubator, I didn't really have a clue of priorities. I should say I knew what needed to be done, but they all had equal importance and they were all big. And I was, like, totally overwhelmed that... The program helped me figure it out. Okay, this is what needs to be done first. This is what needs to be done next. Having really practical advice has made all the difference. Practical advice for my type of business. So I've taken other business classes. This is a lot more focused on me and what I need.
My family is taking me seriously now. They really didn't believe that I could do this. But now I think they respect me. And they know that I actually am committed and serious and a real artist and a real business person. People are taking me seriously."
~Natasha Papousek, Lemon Grove, CA
"My email list exploded"
"Before I started, I guess I was just like all over the place. I had not much of a direction.
The program helped me kind of stop and focus on one thing at a time.
The email list just exploded: it went from 60 people to over 600 in less than a month."
~Simone Sloan, San Diego, CA

It's important for you to know the enormous value you get out of this program. These numbers are not inflated. They're an honest, good faith estimate because you cannot purchase components of the Artist Incubator separately.
The Artist Incubator comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I want you to feel fully confident in your decision. That’s why you have 14 days to explore the program and experience the support inside Artist Incubator.
Q: Is this group for me?
A: This isn’t for everyone. It’s not for you if you’re looking for a shortcut, want someone else to sell your art for you, or won’t show up. It’s for the artist who’s already doing the work—and is done doing it alone.
If you have a strong desire to contribute to the group and bring your unique voice and talents to the table…
And if you recognize that the fastest path to get from where you are now to where you want to go is to work DIRECTLY with an artist who’s walked that path and had success…
Q: What kinds of things can you help me with?
A: There are 5 major things that I’ve done over the years in my business that are responsible for my success.
There’s a specific process to follow, there’s a framework! And it's all about PLANNING!!
And because I have experience actually implementing each of these things, I can walk you through exactly how to do them.
Q: Is this all in the book?
A: The short answer is NO. The book complements the program with case studies and the framework, but the program includes laser-focused coaching, accountability, step-by-step action plans, done-for-you templates, and resources you can't find anywhere else.
Q: What if fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt slows me down?
A: Performance coaching is baked in throughout the program, but we've also added Shaun Roney who is a certified life coach that specializes in ADHD. She uncovers obstacles so that you can end procrastination, perfectionism and self-sabotage.
The best way to share Shaun’s magic, is to show her in action…
Q: What kinds of artists are in the group?
A: We’ve artists who are painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, fiber artists, muralists, public artists, and more.
What I've noticed is that many of the same things that hold artists back, in the beginning, are the same things that make other artists plateau which is why no matter where you’re at in your art business, no matter what you’re working on, you can find someone who has been there, exactly where you are right now, someone who’s done it, that you can get advice and help from.
What I love about the group is that people learn from each other.
That “cross-pollination” of ideas and strategies that happens when you get so many diverse people in a (virtual) room is what makes this group so unique.
In fact, the more diverse the artists are in the group, the better.
And the amazing thing is that everyone contributes their questions, expertise, their opinions, and their knowledge to make the group better. (you learn as much from each other's questions and problems as you do from their successes)
Ready to join us?
Q: What kinds of results are artists getting?
Q: Can I see what the classroom is like?
A: Absolutely! Here's a tour of the classroom I recorded just for you:
Q: How long is the program?
A: Building an art career does not happen overnight. You get lifetime access to the Strategy Masterclasses, plus 12 months of live coaching, Performance Coaching, accountability pods, community, and specialized workshops. You can do incredible things in a short amount of time.
I invest 100% in coaching you and the artists in my Artist Incubator program.
This is not for dipping your toe in, this is for you only if you’re prepared to make that same kind of commitment to yourself.
If you want this to be the year that you step it up and make that leap, that big monumental jump, that’s what this is for.
Q: Do you meet live?
A: Yes, you'll meet live with Shaun Roney two times a month and with me twice a month.
All recorded sessions are placed in a password-protected classroom for you to review.
Q: How does the accountability system work? Can you explain those bonuses?
A: Sure can! Since we're all over the world and can't meet in person, Zoom is our next best thing.
So, we've created accountability pods that meet once a week! (At no extra cost to you).
Each pod will have between 3 and 5 people. It's not too many people, and you'll have time for everyone to have a chance to participate. It's not too many people that voices can't be heard.
Once enrolled, you'll get to take a look at our pod schedule and commit to the pod that works for your time zone and schedule.
If you're on Facebook, we also have a private, members-only Facebook group for all members to connect with each other. Here's a video tour of the private Facebook group:
Q: What’s the difference between The Artist Incubator, the Accelerator, and the Inner Circle?
A: The Artist Incubator is your foundation. You get the full curriculum, group coaching, live calls, pods, and community support you need to start selling more art consistently.
The Accelerator includes everything in the Artist Incubator plus a focused 90-day upgrade where I personally review and refine your messaging, pricing, website, Instagram, About page, and opportunities. It’s for artists who want more customized, non–cookie-cutter support without a mastermind commitment.
The Inner Circle includes 6 months of high-touch support: elite mastermind calls, private 1:1 sessions with me, and unlimited email coaching. It’s by application only and is for artists who want me in their corner every step of the way. You must already have an ecommerce enabled website and a track record of sales to be considered. Apply here to see if you qualify -> schulmanart.com/apply
If you’re unsure, start with The Artist Incubator and we can always talk about upgrading into the Accelerator or Inner Circle when you’re ready.
Q: Do you offer a guarantee or a refund?
A: You have 14 days from purchase to explore the program and decide whether it’s the right fit. If it isn’t, email support during the refund period.
We hope you agree that this policy gives you enough time to figure out if the Artist Incubator is a good fit for you.
Q: Do you offer flexible payment plans?
A: You can pay $3000 in full or choose 8 installments of $397. Klarna and Afterpay may also be available at checkout.
Q: If I choose the "pay in full" option but use Klarna or AfterPay, do I still get the pay in full bonus?
A: YES! You'll find those options when you check out. Choose the $3000 single payment option BUT select Klarna or Afterpay as your payment option. Then, you're free to choose the payment plan that works best for you.
Q: Why don't I get lifetime access to the group coaching and accountability?
A: The Artist Incubator is designed as a coaching program rather than a fixed curriculum. Artists get the best results when they are fully present and take action when I'm available for support and troubleshooting.
Members who wish to renew access to group coaching and accountability will be offered a favorable alumni rate and/or special bonuses.
Q: When does my access begin?
A: You gain instant access to the library of all recorded masterclass training.
What if I have a question that isn't answered here?
I understand that signing up for the Artist Incubator is a big decision and you may have lots of questions about whether or not it's right for you. You can always email us at [email protected]
