Spring Cleaning to Streamline Your Art Business (#82)

Spring is here in the Northern Hemisphere and it's a perfect time to consider the aspects of your life that are weighing you down without contributing to your happiness and success. April is the month for cleaning out in the Art Biz Success community. In this episode, I'm highlighting some of my previous interviews with artists who have discussed cleaning out in one form or another, from removing physical items to cleaning out business ideas and strategies, modes of working, and even the venues where you show and sell your art.

If you are ready to deep clean your art business, to release what isn't serving you and banish all that is getting in the way of your productivity and creativity, then you won't want to miss the insights and inspiration from these successful artists.
