Institute for Sustained Creativity

The Institute for Sustained Creativity empowers artists through matchmaking, mentoring, and resource sharing, ensuring they can live creative lives with dignity and support. We amplify underrepresented voices, strengthening communities and the cultural ecosystem.

The Approach has been informed by more than fifteen years of conversations between workshop leader, Sharon Louden, and over 15,000 artists, curators, critics, museum professionals, educators, gallery owners, and other arts leaders all over the country and abroad. This workshop distills practical strategies that artists can immediately put into practice. Rather than waiting for opportunities to appear, participants will learn how to actively build relationships, create opportunities, and expand their professional communities. In addition, what makes this workshop different is that Sharon often connects people together while generously sharing her own network. TOPICS COVERED: ➡️ &nbsp;Finding opportunities without waiting for invitations. ➡️ &nbsp;Researching the people and organizations you most want to know. ➡️ &nbsp;Building a database that becomes one of your most valuable professional assets. ➡️ &nbsp;Reaching out with suggested content, confidence and authenticity. ➡️ &nbsp;Building relationships with people who share your values. ➡️ &nbsp;Following up in meaningful ways that lead to lasting connections. Our goal is simple: every participant leaves with pragmatic, real-life pathways, renewed confidence, and concrete strategies they can begin using immediately. Each session covers different material, with the final 20&ndash;30 minutes devoted to live Q&amp;A. Participants who register for both workshops will also be invited to a complimentary 90 minute follow-up Zoom discussion. INDIVIDUAL CONSULATIONS:Following the workshop series, artists may also schedule individual one-hour consultations with Sharon to discuss their own professional goals and questions.&nbsp;$120/hour Note: Zoom link will be sent upon receipt of payment.
