MAKE IT HAPPEN
Your Creative Year Ahead
A workbook for artists who want to take their art (and art business) seriously, and get sh*t done without burning out
Who This Workbook Is For
This workbook is for you if you are:
An independent or emerging artist
Running (or trying to run) your own art business
Ready to move beyond “hoping it works out”
Wanting more structure, clarity, and follow-through
Tired of vague goal-setting and unfinished planners
Looking for a calmer, more intentional year ahead
Transitioning from hobby → serious practice
Rebuilding after a messy, slow, or unprofitable year
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need a clear path forward. One that actually fits you.
This workbook meets you where you are - whether that’s a hobbyist artist wanting to take the steps to building an art business or an artist who didn’t get everything they wanted done last year.

TESTIMONIALS
TESTIMONIALS
"The Alchemical Art is a place of high quality. In this space, I feel I can expand.
So often, the limits are too narrow to express oneself freely and peacefully—but in this gallery, it’s the opposite. Here, I feel I can grow. And most importantly: I feel understood. And for me, that’s the most important feeling of all."
