“I just sold a painting for $22k thanks to your cherished advice”--

Gail Wegodsky

 
 
 

Transform Your Perspective and Expand Your Art Career—Unleash Your Potential!

You’re a creative soul with a boundless passion for making art.

Perhaps you’ve yet to exhibit your work or have been exhibiting for ages but feel like you’ve plateaued.

Wherever you are in your art career, you’ve already made bold moves to chase your purpose and passion.

But despite all that hustle, you’re hitting a major roadblock...

You are still wondering how to
truly get connected and noticed by gallerists,
and sell your art for what it’s really worth!

You live in your cozy artistic bubble, whether an emerging or mid-career artist, and you want to feel connected to the art world.

The open calls and group shows fall flat. And you don’t completely consider your studio a “thriving business” (yet).  

If you have a social media presence, the meaningful engagement’s been crickets. 

You’re holding onto a full-time gig out of financial necessity, though you’re burnt out and emotionally tapped.

You can’t seem to create or shmooze with the right people, let alone focus on your business strategy.

And when you do finally reach out, those emails and DMs go unanswered. 

You have TONS of questions that no one can seem to answer…

In between the manifestation podcast episodes and blasting Dolly’s 9-5, you’re thinking…

“What business step do I take first?” Because…

  • You’re DONE with the “how do I get into galleries that don’t accept submissions” conundrum

  • You’re so over the imposter syndrome and not-being-understood fears

  • You know your work isn’t really “all over the place” 

  • You’re ready to sell your work online, before you’re even working with galleries 

  • You wish to connect well past the initial “omg, they liked my comment” stage  

  • You’re ready to step into the artist you KNOW you are meant to be.

You desire a career that puts your work into the spotlight. 

With all the ease, success, and awards you *secretly* know your one-of-a-kind work is 

inherently worth. 

“But how do I position my work from “meh” galleries to GOOD galleries?”  

Marina Granger has nearly 20 years of NYC Art World Experience.When she was a Gallery Director she saw so many artists get the runaround. Now, you won’t have to.

Allow me to paint a scene where …

  • You feel good about your art practice and make career decisions confidently.

  • You grow your art business to consistent sales. Collectors are eager to buy before the paint even dries. Your inbox is flooded with high-end galleries and museums, all wanting your latest work.

  • You create cool collaborations with businesses that vibe with your style. The business side of your art career is fun, with a growing network of gallerists, diverse venues, and a worldwide community.

  • You feel supported on your artist journey, with industry guidance to navigate every high and low—leading you to the art career of your dreams.

  • You flip through major art magazines and find a feature on your artwork and your artist story in the glossy pages.

  • Online sales roll in while you’re mid-paint stroke in the studio, adding an extra revenue stream that gives you financial stability and security. With more income, you can even invest back into your business.

  • Finally, visibility and success come easily (FANTASTICALLY fantastic). With the right customizable plan, the art world is your oyster...

    With the right customizable plan,  the art world is your oyster…

Don’t let one of these Three big myths keep you only dreaming instead of ELEVATING….

MYTH #1:  I don’t have enough work completed
As a former Gallery Director with extensive experience, I’m here to tell you a little secret.

A gallery can choose you (and sell that work for multi-figure $$$), even if you only have 3 pieces to show. 

FACTS. 

Tereza B. had only completed three works, and DING! A  gallery messaged her on Instagram and took her work to a  MAJOR Art Fair in Los Angeles (next-level unlocked!).  

At this point, all her paintings have been sold for unprecedented high prices. 

MYTH #2: I need to shmooze with the right people–but I don’t live in NY

It’s not about who you know; it’s about who you can get to know as a business-savvy artist. 

These days, you don’t need to be in NYC or hand over your hard-earned cash for open-call applications.  

Your digital footprint serves as your exhibition space, where YOU are the curator, and that positions you in the front row for perfect connections–no matter where you choose to live out your artistic expression.  

Unlimited magic-making potential.

MYTH # 3:  I lack confidence–I wasn’t born into a rich family with connections 

Remember the child of immigrants to America, Andy Warhol? No fancy, schmancy ancestry with deep pockets needed.  

You’ll naturally embody confidence when you know what to show, when, and how to show it. 

It’s all about presentation!

Editing and organizing the presentation of your work needs just as much care as your actual conceptualizing, designing, and creation phases. 

Craft a cinematic moment when your epic piece is unveiled–whether online or offline.

 
 

REWIRE YOUR MINDSET & MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY.

Becoming an artist sought out by GOOD galleries, invited to exhibit in “those” shows, with a waitlist for
available work — is possible!

And you don’t need permission or pixie dust to start. You need…

The Artist Academy™

is A Four-Month Online Group Program that turns “starving” artists 

into highly-successful businesses  

Everything you need to master your mindset, get into good galleries, and manifest your dreams
–no matter your level 

If you’re an:

  •  Experienced visual artist or up-and-coming artist. 

  • A painter, sculptor, or 2D paper artist. Even textile artists and creatives. 

  • You went for your MFA (or not!), but you have an inner knowing your scattered mindset is why you’re not moving forward. 

  • You know you need a strategic online presence that isn’t outdated to attract the right browsers, solo show invites, and even press.

And you…

  • feel like you know you want to do something but can’t get started or just don’t know what to do…

  • are literally doing all the professional development, group events, and small shows. Now it’s time to hang on those GOOD gallery walls and sell your work!

  • feel like your momentum ebbs and flows, and you want to ascend into an artist who is not just business-savvy but more confident-even if you don’t feel ready.   

  • or you feel like your career feels like it has plateaued, so you’ve come to terms with the internet being your much-needed digital studio, but where to even start keeps your mouse hovering over a dusty website. 

  • Feeling shy but knowing that the world NEEDS to see your work.

  • OR, you are just starting out and don’t want to waste valuable time setting your career in the right direction.


This comprehensive path is not for…

  • Those who don’t want to do the work but would rather hire someone else to do

  • Artists un-interested in building relationships to break into galleries, PR and art fairs  (this is a huge portion of the curriculum)

  • Creatives who don’t want a social media presence and website that grows a global community 

  • Anyone who doesn’t want to embrace their authenticity, affirm who they are, and showcase their uniqueness– unapologetically! 

The Artist Academy™ will show you how to (joyfully) elevate your art business.

You’ll follow the curriculum to design your online presence with social media accounts and a website so that your impeccable work is seen (and adored) by the ideal people.

Podcast host of The Artist Advisory Hotline and founder of The Artist Advisory, your art world angel & guide:

Meet The Artist Academy™ head guru, Marina Granger…

“Crystals, YOUR feelings, and ART and cuddling my Pomerianian is my daily vibe. IFKYK.

With a BA and MA in Art History, I’ve worked in the NYC art world since 2004. For much of that time, I was a gallery director, and I got to really understand how galleries and the art world work, especially what art galleries are looking for and where.

Selling over $1 million in art showed me exactly what creates artists their dream careers…

How Galleries choose artists, where they find them, and how artists get museum shows…
AND the not-cute-part….

I watched far too many  *possibly MUSEUM-WORTHY” artists get the runaround, jump through hoops, and go ignored. 

So, in 2018,  I set out on my own venture to break down the golden gallery gates. 

 Since then, I’ve granted hundreds of artists’ wishes by working with them on not only the pragmatic part of their careers but also their mindset and spirituality! 

When artists know how to organize, pitch, and present themselves effectively, their careers have major potential. And when they know how to identify their own limiting beliefs, nothing can stop them!

Like artist Linda Mann, who was painting in the basement for 30 years, now she’s selling her work (and not in Coffee Shops…).  

She has a 100K+ following, works with two galleries, and sells her work! 

Or Sandra Cavanagh, who now has a full CV, her painting on the cover of Create (a worldwide magazine with 250,000 readers all over bookstores), and noteworthy awards!

So I’m handing over the keys to hop off the “starving artist” track… 

And step into the fulfilling career that aligns with your highest vision.

because there is a reality where you present your work, get it in front of the right people, and consistently and sustainably sell a painting for $1,000, $3,000, $15,000 - or even more!

That rich reality lives within my signature curriculum inside The Artist Academy™.

The art world will be a more peaceful when artists stop waiting for permission to leap. 

The beauty? Less starving artists, more profitable and rewarding careers. “

XO,
Marina

***HERE’S WHAT ARTISTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE ARTIST ACADEMY™ ***

“Marina’s my lucky charm. Whatever money I invest in working with her, it always at least doubles. 

- Tereza B.

“She is so smart. I feel like us artists have a tendency to live in our bubbles and it influences our career decisions. 

We apply for shows, we see our circle applying for, etc. Sometimes we get too close to the tree to see the forest. That’s exactly where Marina comes in. Ceramics, installations, realism painting, each one of us wonders whether she will understand our special niche only to find out she understands it way more than us. 

As a result, you’ll get advice that totally opens your eyes and catapults your career way faster than any other advice I’ve seen out there. The further my career progresses, the more I return to Marina like a boomerang.” –Tereza Barnard 

 
 

“Truly the best education I've had since art school!

- Grace Flott

I have more confidence to talk about my work because you helped me clarify my intention and message. I also understand how to power map the art world and how important it is to work with people who align with my values. The art world doesn't have to be transactional if you find your community.”-Grace Flott

Taking Marina's class was a game-changer for me as an aspiring artist seeking to re-enter the professional art scene.



- Kathleen B.

“With a solid body of work but lacking in online presence, Marina expertly guided me in optimizing my website and provided invaluable advice to propel my career forward. Thanks to her mentorship, I secured grants, residencies, and a prestigious fellowship, and even landed a solo museum exhibition alongside multiple group shows in NYC. This past year marked my most lucrative in terms of sales, a testament to Marina's spot-on guidance and unwavering support. While achieving success in the art world demands hard work and patience, Marina's insights have proven to be indispensable.” -Kathleen B.

Students who *clearly* understood the transformative assignment…

“Some of the highlights of working with you include: my first solo show in Brazil, published in Create! Magazine, sold a commissioned painting to a stranger, and had a studio visit with the curator of a dream gallery.”

-Ariana Taveras 

“I am so grateful to my friends who encouraged me to join them in signing up for the transformative Artist Academy™ program! 

It was beyond the time to stop getting in my own way and to end the stories that I was repeating without realizing!

Marina Granger’s comprehensive course was a lot of necessary work and prescribed peeling back of layers that I had not examined fully! Granger is a sparkling fountain of knowledge about the art world and human design but her love is tough but kind and her vision is so accurate !!!

I now have a website that I love, I have been interviewed and featured in four magazines, chosen for international scholarships and awards, and I have more than a thousand followers on Instagram! I am so grateful to The Artist’s Advisory!” 

–Deb Cook Shapiro 

“Marina has real life experience working in New York galleries and is able to give valuable and very practical advice on dealing with them.  Also she doesn’t just tell you what you need to do, she shows you how to do it. 

For example the computer is absolutely not my area of expertise but she trained me to build a website that shows off my work much better than what I had paid others to do. That in itself was worth every penny of the course.”

–Beatrice

DMs I get before artists become my sparkling students … 

  • Your first module drops on August 1. We will meet for our first live Q+A in the second week of August.

  • After enrollment closes, you'll get a link to a meeting time survey. I'll be choosing meeting times that are beneficial to the majority of artists in the program.

    If you miss a Live Q+A you can always watch the replay.

    You can also always send in a question even if you know you can't make it to the live Q+A.

  • Flattered you asked! But not anymore. With private coaching, I can only serve a handful of artists per month which comes at a much higher price tag.

    The Artist Academy™ allows me to guide a group of creatives with the exact gallery-tested method–at the best price possible to students.  

    It’s a vibe! 

    If you want my eyes on your website, Instagram and a customized strategy for your art business– a website audit and an Instagram Audit as a BONUS'

  • There will be two meetings in our group where you will meet a gallerist and/or a curator and make your own connections! And, that's just the beginning of what this course is going to teach you to do when it comes to connecting with galleries.

  • Welcome to the art party! You’re not alone. 

    Almost every creative (whether they will admit it or not) faces rejection fear. 

    Together, we’ll de-mystify the looming worries to elevate into a successful artists’ mindset. 

    Even better, this inner work impacts every area of your life. 

    (I’m no super monk but I AM a spiritual-woo-child who uses crystals) 

    Your thoughts matter. 

    Prepare to show up to your business in a brand new way. 


    Student, Ginger “I now know the power of the "Marina Mindset." Marina's program totally changed the way I approach my art business, moving me from an attitude of doubt & scarcity to one of empowerment and appreciation. Plus she's perceptive, smart, and a whole lot of fun!”

  • You can enroll using Afterpay which breaks down your payments!

    Remember, it’s entirely possible to make back your investment with your first gallery sale. 

    (that’s a pretty ABUNDANT ROI,...) 

  • Short answer: If you’re hosting your entire body of work for the last 10+ years online? 

    That’s overload. 

    You want your online exhibition space to craft the right message to the right people. 

    Overwhelming your ideal buyers and community ends in [click–exit out]. 

    This is not The Met.  Less is more, babe. 

    You’ll make your website organized, alluring and attractive from the start.  

  • Yes! You have two weeks to go through each module. Some may be longer than others, but you just have to watch the videos. You do not need to implement everything right away. Some artists go back to the curriculum year after year to fine tune themselves.

Gallerists, Collectors and Curators are scrolling the online space…

eagerly searching for you, your story and your masterpieces to be their next YES! 


Now is the time to make yourself highly visible!

How to know if The Artist Academy™ is your path to gallery representation, large-scale opportunities and insider knowledge…


Even if you believe you’re an “art world outsider”?

Let’s see…

Your fine artist talent is unmatched. But there’s the business-side of being a well-known, successful artist (who can more than pay her electric bill) that you need to master for this to be a fulfilling journey. One where you prove Auntie Suzan wrong forever, your art is NOT just a hobby.

You might have an overabundance of limiting self-doubt, so you’re open to experimenting with new techniques that level up your self-worth and self-esteem as an artist. 

You’re open to getting visible. Maybe you already have social media and a website, except you know they need strategic fine-tuning for gallerists, collectors and curators (not other artists).

The Artist Academy™ students and graduates' praise keep flowing in… 

“1. Getting into the mindset of professionalism, I immediately started making sales again. Like immediately. Sold four watercolors in an auction two weeks later! 2. I was finally able to make a list of galleries that I am happy about and have been able to follow since as well.”  - Helena Kauppila 

“Magical! Uplifting and fascinating! A cocktail of learning to do hard things and  topping it off with sweet  joy of sharing my work with the world and being well-received.” - Deb Cook Shapiro 

“The confidence about what I do and its worth is something I carry with me out into the world. I love having my elevator pitch coupled with a fabulous website and strong Instagram presence always at the ready.” – Margaret Zox  Brown 

“One huge benefit was around mindset, which applies broadly to my art practice and life. I've even started putting myself out there more, by applying to shows and opportunities that I didn't think I had a chance to get ... and holy shit! It has been paying off. Much to my surprise (I did mention I lacked confidence, right?) I also re-arranged my studio space ... feng shui for the win.” - Karen McCool 

“Not only did I get useful tips for how to write a powerful artist statement, learn to create my own website and submit impactful applications to art fairs and galleries, The Artist Academy had useful advice on how to declutter my office, how to make it "flow" better and teach me the power of positive visualization”.- Amber Penney 

“I feel incredibly confident in my capabilities to manage my studio. I’ve built an incredible network of collaborators and curators with shared values that I’ve acquired by understanding how to connect with people and participate in the art world (I had undervalued this part of being an artist prior to the AA and now recognize nothing is accomplished without relationships) you helped me structure my time and understand where my energies needed to be in order to move past just making art and applying to group shows online and hoping someone would “discover” me.” - Erin O’Neill 

 
 


***COURSE BEGINS JANUARY 2025***

 
 
 
 

Gatekeeping from Artists is not my vibe — it’s time we rise

Musing over enrolling? All you need is a minimum of 3 works ready to show. 

Because “Marina! I just sold another piece! “ will be you in 4-6 months, given you put in the action your career and rewiring your mindset!

 

If cost is a factor, consider the total financial investment of: 

→ web & brand design

→ a fancy copywriter

→ art marketer and art manager fees

→ more art classes which you don’t need to up your game

→ the toll on your emotional wellbeing,  as you trudge the art world alleys alone 

(^^^that’s a steep bill) 

Or get everything you need to grow your art business in 1 space, for a fraction of the cost. 

What could take you years in your art business, can be done in a short 4 months when you have The Artist Academy™ course to guide you with insider-insight. 

As your gallery director turned artists’ career angel, I designed this self-study course to elevate your  career from ground floor to go-to gallery artist, and so much more.  

 

“I’ve learned how to elevate every aspect of my art and business “going from Target to Bergdorf” as Marina would say!”

- Ken Forbes

 
 
 

“The Artist Advisory has been great for me. Marina shares her skills and knowledge with magic and humor. The curriculum is succinct and supportive and has helped me to understand what galleries and curators are looking for. This knowledge has given me confidence and has relieved stress so I can get back to focusing on my painting! 

 

Say too-ta-loo to cold emailing pitches that only go unopened, with your heart (+ art) on the line. 

Let’s get your one-in-a-zillion piece booked and bought (with an artist pitch they can’t unhear!). 

Let’s erase that sneaky “but maybe I just need to go into debt for an MFA to be successful” lie.  

Let’s align your art career to make that thriving artist lifestyle of yours reality–for a whole lot less.
