For the first time, in a long time, I have the energy and determination to make more challenging work. It feels great, carving out studio time to make work that is what I have been truly desiring to make. I am getting upset and frustrated, battling the work, it is a remarkably welcome uncomfortable feeling. I want to say thanks for giving my work a shot in the arm…. Teresa Getty

Wow, Paul, thank you! Life is worth living again, and I’m SO EXCITED! This is exactly what I need, and I am so grateful to you, you will never know. You are the best!…. Peggy Wolff

Paul Klein’s Artist Works course is a rare glimpse, behind the scenes, at the gears that power the ‘Art Machine.’ This class lifts the shroud of mystery on how the art world works and gives you insight from a variety of different perspectives, which helps you formulate the direction you want to go with your work. Paul’s wealth of knowledge and years of experience cut to the core of how to better yourself in the arts… Jason Brammer

Paul Klein’s comprehensive course addresses the gritty business of art. Brushing aside mythology, he exposes his students to various aspects of the art world, from career artists to collectors, to a behind-the-scene view of galleries. Klein empowers artists and guides them through parlaying newly acquired insights and knowledge into personal strategies for success. Victoria Szilagyi

It is hard to explain what was so important about the course to me, because informationally, much of the stuff is available online, in books, etc. But there is something that you get from actual contact with people that is irreplaceable. It is like the difference between seeing The Sound of Music movie, and actually hiking in the Alps. Information is often not functional if it remains at the intellectual level. You gotta feel it, and the course helped me do that. And there are things that nobody thinks to say, basic assumptions, moods, orientations, that are tremendously important, and you just gotta be there to observe this yourself. The sheer volume of stuff I learned and saw in 3 months was more than I can put into practice all at once. I hope I can hang onto it long enough to digest it….. Jess Beyler

I was in the first Klein Artist Works seminar Sept.-Dec. 2010. Looking back on my experience, I found it provocative and challenging. It definitely made me think more about my practice – both the work itself & what it means being a professional artist today. The resources we engaged; curators, collectors, gallery directors & artists provided in-depth, real world perspectives on what it takes to distinguish yourself & your work in the big, bad art world – a good value and a good time….

To anyone considering taking Paul klein’s Artist Works class – do it! It could be the single most important thing that I’ve done for my art – it IS kick-ass. Steve Walker

Inspired by our class, I decided I should “show up” at the openings of a few of the galleries I’m truly interested in. At the very first opening I ended up chitttchatting with a Swiss woman who turned out to be a curator – she was currently involved in organizing an event with the New Museum (one of the hottest contemporary art venues in NY) dealing with New York City and all kinds of NY related issues, and somehow she seemed to be familiar with my work. We exchanged cards, and a few days later I sent her a note saying how great it was that we had met, and included the links to two of my projects which I thought would relate to what she was organizing. The next day I received her reply, telling me that although the application deadline had long passed, her team really loved my GREENHOUSE project, http://www.annekatrin.info/botanical.html and wanted to include me. Here we go – excited! Anne-Katrin Spiess

I was at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Friday and went for lunch at the restaurant. The Chief Curator, Michael Darling was there and I went over to shake hands and say hi. It’s now seeming like the “new normal” having these kind of extended relationships in the big bad art world – pretty cool… Doug Frohman

I joined Klein Artist Works with the hope of learning new and creative ways of bringing my art career to the next level. What I received, was so much more! I now have a FAMILY of amazing artists and friends that are an incredible group of talented and like-minded individuals, who are my sounding board for ideas and collaborative concepts, as well as advice and support. What Paul Klein has created, is truly revolutionary. The course that he is offering brings forth such an extraordinary array of professionals in the arts and business industries, who are all so open and giving of themselves for the betterment of ARTISTS!!! Paul takes time and care with every individual that is signed on to his program. Everyone gets a studio visit and thorough critique of their work. This is so valuable, when trying to assess the next viable direction in your career. Paul, and my wonderful “class” mates, have been such great allies in my efforts to be the best and most successful artist that I can be. I am proud to have taken Paul’s course, and I will continue to recommend it to as many artists as will listen! René Romero Schuler
