“Access more. Achieve more.”
Cofounders Vinh Van Lam and Stuart Horrex bring decades of hands on, real world experience to ArtSHINE.
As a creative professional it’s always hard keeping up with all the changes and pressures in today’s fast paced world, let alone finding the time to devote to sales, marketing, systems development, business planning, and the long term strategy for your creative practice. And doing all that while continuing to create your work and manage your income too.
As the world moves faster and faster, getting ever more demanding and competitive, it’s becoming a more difficult and demanding time for artists, designers, and creative professionals. But despite these challenges, there’s never been a time of greater opportunity.
As an ArtSHINE launch pad + accelerator participant you’ll get access to the coaching, the training, the systems, the mentoring, and the expertise you need to create a sustainable enterprise that supports you in your creative practice. You’ll be able to scope and define income generating activities, clarify your purpose, and define what success means to you.

Plus you’ll get the support you need to make your creative dreams a reality.
