Alyson Stanfield

Alyson Stanfield is an artist advocate, workshop leader, art historian, and business coach who has helped thousands of artists elevate their careers and amplify their impact.

As the host of *The Art Biz* podcast and author of *I’d Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion*, she leads Art Biz Success, a dynamic learning community for ambitious artists ready to take control of their marketing, sales, and visibility.

At the heart of all Alyson’s work you will find these 4 core beliefs:

1. The work must come first.

2. Your art doesn’t speak for itself—you must learn to communicate clearly about it.

3. Your network is your #1 marketing asset.

4. Business systems elevate your professionalism.

Before launching Art Biz Success in 2002, Alyson spent a decade as a curator and educator in art museums, an experience that still shapes her approach today. She has a special passion for working with artists who engage with their communities and believe in the power of their art to make a difference.

With a deep understanding of both the art world and the business strategies artists need to thrive, Alyson helps creatives build sustainable careers—on their own terms.
