Miriam Schulman is an accomplished artist and art business expert who has built a multiple six-figure art business through her unique “Passion to Profit” planning framework. Her journey to becoming a successful artist and art business expert began after a career in the corporate world. The events of 9/11 led her to pursue her true passion for art, and she initially struggled to market her small creative business. However, she soon discovered that time-tested sales strategies could also be applied to marketing and selling art. And with that, her art business took off.
With over 20 years of experience selling art and teaching other artists, Miriam has been featured in major publications such as Entrepreneur, Forbes, and The New York Times. Her art has been featured on popular TV shows like NBC’s “Parenthood” and Amazon’s “Hunters” with Al Pacino. She’s also the author of the book “Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity”, which provides a comprehensive guide on how to make it as an artist and shares these artists’ success secrets for the first time.
Miriam is dedicated to helping other artists achieve success in their own businesses, which is why she created The Artist Incubator Coaching program. This program is designed to guide artists through the process of building a profitable and sustainable art business. She also hosts The Inspiration Place podcast, which is listened to in over 100 countries, where she shares her insights on the art business and interviews successful artists.
Schulman’s expertise and passion for art have made her a respected figure in the art industry. Her “Passion to Profit” planning framework has helped countless artists turn their passion for art into a successful and profitable business. With her guidance and support, artists can achieve their dreams of making a sustainable living from their creativity.
