Art Amplify
IMMERSIVE, COLLABORATIVE, TRANSFORMATIVE
From Concept to Exhibition - Your Transformational Artistic Journey Begins Here
Art Amplify is a high-standard mentoring program guiding aspiring artists through the entire process of a professional exhibition. From concept to creation, marketing, curation, and opening night, you'll experience every facet of bringing a group show to life.
With all materials supplied this practical mentorship program not only hones your artistic skills but also teaches you the business of being an artist.
As a professional artist with over two decades of experience, I've crafted this unique opportunity for gap year or general art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the art world and prepare for potential arts careers. Through hands-on learning and real-world application, you'll gain invaluable insights into both the creative and commercial aspects of the art industry.
Over the course of four in-depth workshops, you'll join a community of artists, coming together to collaborate and support each other's creative journeys. You'll learn firsthand how to develop a concept, create original artwork, curate a cohesive show, and organize a professional exhibition.
This isn't just about theory - you'll be doing the real work, culminating in a Thursday evening opening event and a public weekend exhibition of your artworks at Swan St Artist Studios. This is your chance to showcase your talent, potentially sell your artwork and find your tribe with peers who share your passion for art.
​
Through mentorship and hands-on experience, you'll gain practical knowledge about the business side of art, including marketing, pricing, and client relations. Art Amplify offers a comprehensive, fun experience that will enrich your artistic practice, expand your horizons, and equip you with the entrepreneurial skills needed in today's art world.
​
This transformative journey provides the tools, knowledge, and experience to help you stand out in university applications and prepare for a potential arts career. Art Amplify is more than a program - it's the beginning of your professional artistic path.
