Artist career support
I love how Jes is in my corner -- as a strategist, emotional support, problem solver, etc. Jes really makes it about helping me progress on my journey as a working artist and business person. Jes was outstanding, and I'm so grateful for our time talking through this year's challenges!
Faciliating Business Plans for Artists, Hennepin County Library - Minneapolis Central (Springboard for the Arts)
Since 2017, I have provided Artist Career Consultations through Springboard for the Arts. During a consultation, I get to know you and your work, help you set goals, and develop realistic strategies for achieving those goals.
I use Springboard's Work of Art Toolkit as a resource during these meetings. I also bring my experience as a self-employed, multidisciplinary artist to these sessions and the knowledge I have gained as an arts administrator and supporting other artists over the last 10 years. My approach is person-centered, patient, resourceful, and non-judging.
Things I can help you with:
I can meet with you once, bi-weekly, monthly, or once a year. It's up to you as long as our schedules align. Meetings can be held over Zoom or over the phone.
Springboard for the Arts offers free or low-cost artist career consultations to artists, artist entrepreneurs, and creative small business owners.
MN-based artists can start with one free 1-hour consultation.

Testimonials
Jes allowed me to bring my agenda to the session, so that I could get the information I was most in need of. The fact that she was zooming from her studio meant she could show me examples of her own work.
Helping me to move from dreaming phase of a project towards goals and phases and steps to get there as well...very engaging and supportive and a wonderful guide and resource.
Jes is a wealth of knowledge. I felt very heard. It was easy to converse. And they pointed me towards some helpful resources I'm now engaging with. I look forward to chatting more with Jes.
Talking with Jes helped me think fresh - about my creative work and through some stuck-ness. Jes shared thoughtful reflections and insights. Being in our session was being in a space of possibility. Who's work/life/spirit doesn't need that?!
