ARTIST PARTNERSHIPS
Sometimes you need more than one service.
There comes a point when an artist may not need help with just a website, a newsletter, a gallery search, or a marketing decision. 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 are looking for more than help with one specific project.
It is designed for artists who want ongoing support across several parts of their career and value having someone who already understands their 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 the 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 important part is that you are not starting from scratch every time. I already know your work, your goals, and what we have been building toward.

WHAT’S INCLUDED — AND WHAT MAY BE SEPARATE
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
Whenever additional project pricing applies, we will talk about it before the work begins.
The goal is to keep the partnership flexible without creating surprises for either of us.
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—and that is perfectly fine. Sometimes one individual service or an occasional strategy session is exactly what is needed.
For artists who do want a more involved relationship, the goal is to build something that feels useful, collaborative, and sustainable over time.
