Studio Direct

Studio Direct is an innovative model aimed towards assisting Emerging Artists with their transition into full-time studio practices.

Artists often struggle to find time to create work early on in their careers. Whether you’re working multiple part-time jobs, freelancing or teaching, there is always paid work that takes away from the time and energy you’re spending in studio. At the start of 2014, coming off of a primarily freelance design income, I asked 8 local Pittsburgh Art Patrons to assist me with this problem.

The Studio Direct model has allowed me to have a thriving studio practice, garner new patrons, expand my professional network, feel confident with my pricing, all while preserving my current gallery relationships. I’d like to share it with other artists. Be inspired by this concept and make it fit with your own creative practice.
