 1. Made for Artist by Artists


Our workshops are developed for artists and arts workers by artists and arts workers. Content, examples and exercises reflect the realities of working in the arts today and participants engage with relatable scenarios, peer discussions, and learn practical tools that make sense in the context of their work.

 

2. Practical Learning


We believe in empowering communities to take actionable steps and make real progress in their practice or business, without the jargon.

 

3. Flexible Design


Sessions can be delivered online or in-person, as one-off workshops, short series, or integrated into programs or events. We work with you to ensure delivery supports your participants, timeframe and objectives.

 

4. Strengthening Both Practice and Business


Participants learn not only learn how to refine and present their work, but also build the essential business, marketing, and professional communication skills that helps to maintain sustainability in their work. 

"Sophia was so professional and great to collaborate with. She delivered a very informative and engaging workshop on pricing and financial management and was very generous with her advice and time. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants. I would 100% recommend Sophia as a workshop facilitator and will definitely work with her again."

Making It In Merri-Bek,

Merri-Bek Council

"Sophia prepared a fantastic workshop that provided new learnings for participants beginning their arts journey, and the opportunity for the more experienced to reconsider or reaffirm their approach to the topic. The session provided insights, practical tips, time to consider the information, and the opportunity to ask questions. Sophia’s insight, as both an artist and an arts administrator, meant she understood the challenges participants faced and created a workshop that truly hit the mark."

Creative Ballarat, 

City of Ballarat Council

"ArtSupport collaborated with LCI Melbourne on an artist talk. As the host of the event, Sophia kept the audience engaged with a thoughtful curation of questions, always balancing insightful discussion with respect for the artists. Her professionalism and expertise were evident in the thorough research she conducted, while her approachable manner and sincere commitment to fostering an engaging partnership truly set her apart. Sophia’s ability to cover compelling topics about the art and creative process made the event both informative and enjoyable for all involved."
