Create! Magazine is a very well designed, full of interesting interviews and information about art market and interesting emerging artists.

Fantastic issue filled with gorgeous art and artist interviews. I am in love with the vibrant, powerful art presented in this issue. Inspiring, as usual.

I’ve read a lot of art biz books and this is hands down the best, most comprehensive one out there... They even go so far as to provide email templates so you can get an idea for how to speak to different industry professionals.

The Complete Smartest Guide holds a wealth of information for any artist, emerging artist, or anyone interested in a future in the arts. This guide covers EVERYTHING! The art world has changed so much with the internet and the ability to be seen virtually and globally. Like music, there is a huge community of artists who emerge onto the scene through virtual galleries, instagram, and various other forms of social media. The authors do an incredible job of guiding the reader through all the modern methods of becoming an artist, getting your work out there, getting noticed, pricing, creating websites, building communities, etc. Not a stone is left unturned. Ekaterina and Alicia are so current in their knowledge, yet so experienced in so many of the diverse facets of the art world.

They give tremendously of themselves and share knowledge and tips so freely and generously. A refreshing change from the sometimes cut throat business of dealing in the arts. They stress the importance of taking care of yourself, being kind, finding your true artistic voice, and the importance of community to help you thrive. The advice is empowering. The layout of the book makes it really easy to follow and learn from. They are to the point and concise in the topics covered.

I feel so strongly that any emerging or established artist will benefit greatly by owning this book. I've already filled it with sticky notes and page markers to refer back to.

I only wish this book had come out years ago when I was just starting out!! Fabulous resource!

Art Queens has taught me the importance of a community who rallies behind you and creates alongside you. I feel so grateful to the community of women that make up Art Queens and I am so excited to continue to grow together.

I have learned SO much and have gotten the best support from the wonderful Queens. Founder Kat is the most genuine, thoughtful and engaged leader, and makes me feel at home in this amazing group of go-getter artists.
