Artlune Artist Development Programme
Curator-led guidance for artists seeking clarity, confidence & long-term direction.
You may be making consistent work, but still find yourself asking:
What should I focus on next?
How do I move forward without losing my creative voice?
Why does everything feel scattered despite the effort I’m putting in?
Artlune’s Artist Development Programme offers personalised, curator-led one-on-one artist consultation for emerging and mid-career artists who want clarity in their practice, stronger portfolios, and confidence in their next steps.
This is a reflective, structured process designed to support career growth for artists, helping you move forward with intention without compromising the integrity of your work.
Is This Programme Right for You?
This 1:1 creative mentoring and artist consultation service is for artists who find themselves at a crossroads.
You may resonate if you are:
-
Feeling stuck, unsure how to grow your practice while staying true to your work
-
Ready to step into bigger opportunities
-
Overwhelmed by the business side of being an artist
-
Struggling to clearly articulate your work in writing or conversation
-
Seeking honest feedback, accountability, and guidance from someone who understands the art world
If even one of these feels familiar, this programme is designed to help you break through uncertainty and move forward with intention.

How Do We Work?
The programme is shaped around your needs. This is how we help you move from uncertainty to clear, practical direction.
1. Understanding Your Practice
We begin by spending time with your work, goals, and the questions you are currently pondering. This helps us understand where you are, what is working well, and where clarity is missing.
2. Honest, Strategic Feedback
Your practice is reviewed in relation to real opportunities and long-term career goals. The focus is on thoughtful, professional feedback that is clear, direct, and useful.
3. Customised Roadmap
Based on this, you receive a focused and realistic plan. The guidance is practical, with clear steps to strengthen your portfolio, visibility, and professional positioning.
4. Ongoing Guidance
Support continues as you apply the insights and move forward. As new questions or challenges emerge, the mentoring adapts with you.
The focus is not on changing your work
but on helping you understand, articulate, and position it more clearly.
