with host artist Miriam Schulman
Feeling pulled in a thousand directions with your art business? You’re not alone. Between juggling multiple marketing channels, underpricing your art, and filling your days with busywork that doesn’t actually move the needle, overwhelm is inevitable. Once you understand what truly matters, you’ll stop wasting energy and start building momentum toward the art business you really want.
“That hamster wheel of content creation is going to eat up a lot of energy, with very little to show for it.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn why selling larger, higher-value art can actually be easier than selling small pieces
- Explore the difference between real work and “fake work” that keeps you stuck
- Understand how to move forward even when you’re unsure of the perfect path
“You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You just need clarity and focus.” – Miriam Schulman

About the host, Miriam Schulman

In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.

Incubator Success Story of the Week!
Big wins have been happening and I wanted to share the good news with you. First, a gallery owner in Seattle called Alki Arts saw my work, went to my website, emailed me through my form, and we ended up talking for over an hour. This happened within 1 week. I have a new gallery and a new show to prepare for. I owe you and your team a big round of applause and sincere thank you. You have helped me prepare for this moment. A gallery tracked me down out of the blue!! Thank you!

Chelsea Artpreneur Studio · New York City
What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.
