About ArtBizJam

Making a living as a full-time artist is not an easy road. It requires dedication, passion, knowledge, and networking. That’s why we created ArtBizJam in 2013: to support artists and help them thrive in business. Founded by full-time artists Phyllis Dobbs and Lori Siebert, ArtBizJam gathers professional artists to learn from knowledgeable speakers and each other. Over the years, this conference has flourished into a strong community where artists support one another, network, and meet product developers who create product lines and license art.

ArtBizJam is designed for artists like you, who are passionate about their art business and eager to learn how to expand and increase profits. We choose beautiful locations to inspire further creativity and craft a class schedule that maximizes business growth while rejuvenating your creativity. Expect an extraordinary experience with some fun surprises along the way—because who says you can’t have fun while doing business? That’s our philosophy!

Past attendees have become like family, forming a true tribe where everyone generously shares information. Networking opportunities continue throughout the year, allowing Jammers to help each other, which is especially valuable since many artists typically work alone in their studios.

Our goal is to provide you with the best possible experience, ignite your inner fire, and ensure you return to your studio fully energized and equipped with the knowledge for success. Join us at ArtBizJam and become part of a thriving community of artists dedicated to mutual growth and support.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Albert Schweitzer (1875 -1965)
