A Welcome from Thea
Arts Lead is designed to address and support artist individuality and brings to light the common interests and challenges visual artists encounter. Now in it's 3rd session, I couldn't be happier to continue offering these tools, resources, and this guided support to you.
Take a peek at what's included!
Cheers, Thea
Why create Arts Lead?
" I often create my programs and services based on what I want and need as an artist in business. Arts Lead was born from a desire to not only serve my clients and community with education programs and resources, but to follow through and watch those resources being applied, to see their growth and the plans taking shape. Part of my WHY relates to success in business and legitimizing that the arts are integral to society... being part of the action as a first-hand witness, carrying them through the messages, just makes sense to me." Thea Fotiu Howell, The Artist's Concierge
