Making a living as a full-time artist is not an easy road. It requires dedication, passion, knowledge and networking. ArtBizJam is a professional artist conference that was created in 2013 to support artists and to help them thrive in business. Creators, Phyllis Dobbs and Lori Siebert, both full- time artists, aimed to gather professional artists together to learn from knowledgable speakers and one another. This conference has flourished into a strong community and camaraderie of artists supporting one another throughout the year, a major source for networking and meeting the product developers who create the product lines and license art.

We created ArtBizJam for artists like you, who love their art business with the passion necessary for that business and want to learn more in how to expand their businesses and increase profits. Then we choose a beautiful location for further inspiration.

We work together to create a class schedule that will maximize your business growth and rejuvenate your creativeness while giving you an extraordinary experience that you will treasure always. We also have some fun surprises! This is the retreat of all retreats! No one says you can’t have fun along with business…and that’s our philosophy!!

Past attendees have become like a family and true tribe! Everyone is so giving and sharing with information! Networking opportunities occur throughout the year between the Jammers with their knowledge and ability to help each other. This is especially great since, as artists, we usually work alone in our studios. 

Our goal is for you to have the best possible experience, light your inner fire and return to your studios fully energized and armed with the knowledge for success.

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)
