Be Smart About Art

Our mission is to help you thrive in a changing art world. 

Founded in 2012 by Art World Entrepreneur Susan Mumford, the progam helps you thrive in a changing world.

Based out of London, England, with a developing event program and Membership community in the Tri-State area as well as Central Arkansas (Susan's childhood home), a founding principle is access to information with the employment of technology.

Accordingly, the online-accessible Members Gateway is updated on a weekly basis, which includes opportunities (art prizes, residencies / fellowships, fairs and more), webinars / audio recordings of BSAA events and talks, templates for your art business, and more.

Additionally, digitally-accessible professional development workshops are already available to purchase and download, and more are being made available for the second half of 2017.

For individuals and organisations seeking custom support, the Creative Specialist Advisors provide one-to-one support, with specialism ranging from business planning to artist-to-artist coaching.

Freely accessible information is also available via , noting the many hundreds of blog posts in addition to a selection of videos. Enjoy!
