with host artist Miriam Schulman
Growth doesn’t come from chasing trends — it comes from understanding the room your art is stepping into. If you’ve ever felt a flicker of pressure when a “Color of the Year” is announced, you’re not alone. You care about your work, you care about staying relevant, and you want to make thoughtful decisions that support your growth. That instinct tells me you’re serious about your art business. What I want to offer you here is reassurance and clarity: you don’t need to change your palette to stay aligned. Instead, we’ll look at what these design shifts actually signal and how understanding environment, contrast, and perception can quietly strengthen your positioning and confidence.
“You’re not being told what colors to use. You’re being told what kind of room your art is about to go live in.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Explore the concept of environmental contrast and how it increases perceived value
- Create stronger presentation choices that make your work stand out instantly
- Understand how to use design trends as a selling advantage without changing your style
“Benjamin Moore’s Color of the year is not a trend drop. It’s a cultural shift.” – Miriam Schulman
