Business of Art 2.0: Scaling Your Creative Career (June 11, 2026)

Instructor: Jennifer Barlow

Thursday | June 11, 2026 | 1:00-4:00 pm | established artists | $65 | business workshop | Falls Church Arts Gallery

This is designed for artists who already have a website, have sold work, and are ready to feel more confident, organized, and strategic on the business side of their practice.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a realistic financial plan (nothing scary, we promise)
  • Identify which revenue streams actually make you money
  • Price your work with clarity and confidence
  • Build easy bookkeeping habits that reduce tax-season stress
  • Apply to shows and opportunities strategically, not reactively
  • Use a connection-focused sales approach that feels authentic
  • Implement follow-up strategies that turn admirers into collectors
  • Develop thoughtful product offerings—what to add, what to skip, and why


We’ll wrap up by creating a personalized 6-month growth plan, including visibility goals, seasonal launch ideas, and simple marketing rhythms to keep you focused, grounded, and in control.
