Stanfield, Alyson B.

In this extended webinar, art business consultant Alyson B. Stanfield explains how artists can overcome a range of daunting obstacles, then fields specific online marketing questions from Klein Artist Works’ participants.

“I do think that there are many ways to make yourself unique…. The way that you frame your work, the way that you treat people, your openings—there’s so many—the way that you write your blog posts so they don’t sound like every other artist’s blog posts…. I really believe that people sometimes, a lot of times, buy the artist as much as the art.”

Alyson B. Stanfield is an art consultant, the founder of ArtBizCoach.com, and the author of I’d Rather Be in the Studio: The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion (2011).
