ARTIST PARTNERSHIPS
Sometimes you need more than one service.
There comes a point when help with one website, newsletter, gallery search, or marketing decision is no longer enough.
You may want someone who already knows your work, understands what you are trying to accomplish, and can help you look at the bigger picture.
Artist Partnerships are for artists who want The Artists Foundry involved more consistently across several areas of their career.
Depending on your needs, that might include career strategy, marketing, gallery and exhibition opportunities, PR, advertising, collector communication, professional materials, and the decisions that come up along the way.
The goal is not to take over your career. It is to give you someone in your corner who understands where you are headed and can help you decide what makes sense next.
IS AN ARTIST PARTNERSHIP RIGHT FOR YOU?
An Artist Partnership may be a good fit if you want ongoing support across several parts of your career and value having someone who already understands your work, goals, and current priorities.
You may be a good fit if you:
Are actively exhibiting, selling, or pursuing new opportunities
Want regular guidance on galleries, shows, marketing, pricing, or career decisions
Need support across several areas rather than one isolated service
Want help keeping projects and opportunities moving forward
Value having someone familiar with your career who can help you think through what comes next
Are comfortable collaborating and communicating regularly
If you only need help with one specific project, Individual Services may be the better fit.
HOW AN ARTIST PARTNERSHIP WORKS
Every artist’s needs are different, so an Artist Partnership is built around the areas where support will have the most value.
We start by looking at where your career is now, what you are working toward, and where you could use the most help. From there, we create a level of support that gives us room to work on both immediate priorities and the bigger picture.
Depending on the partnership, that may include:
Regular strategy conversations
Career and marketing planning
Gallery and exhibition guidance
PR and advertising support
Website and professional material review
Collector communication strategy
Review of opportunities as they come up
Help keeping projects and next steps moving forward
The focus can shift as your needs change. Some months may be more about gallery outreach or an upcoming show. Others may be focused on marketing, PR, a website, or preparing for a new opportunity.
The value is that you are not starting from scratch every time. I already know your work, your goals, your priorities, and what we have been building toward.

WHAT’S INCLUDED — AND WHAT MAY BE QUOTED SEPARATELY
Artist Partnerships are designed to give you ongoing access to strategy, guidance, and hands-on support across several areas of your career.
Because every artist’s priorities are different, the exact mix of work will depend on the partnership level and what we are focused on that month.
Some larger projects may be quoted separately, including:
Full website builds or major redesigns
Large-scale gallery research or outreach campaigns
Extensive PR campaigns
Paid advertising and media placement
Major branding projects
High-volume image editing or production work
If additional project pricing applies, we will discuss it before the work begins. The goal is to keep the partnership flexible while making scope and costs clear from the start.
A PARTNERSHIP SHOULD BE THE RIGHT FIT
Artist Partnerships are intentionally limited because they work best when there is time to really understand the artist, the work, and what we are building toward.
Before beginning a partnership, we will talk about where your career is now, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether this level of involvement makes sense for both of us.
Not every artist needs an ongoing partnership. Sometimes an Individual Service or occasional Strategy Session is exactly the right level of support.
For artists who do want a more involved working relationship, the goal is to build something useful, collaborative, and sustainable over time.
