Hi, my name is Bina and I just want to submit some feedback around me attending the PAA session for the Gallery Ready challenge. So before the challenge, I did not even think of having my own business through selling art. I have been pretty consistent with selling art, but before joining the session, I was not even remotely interested in doing that. Although that was coming up for me, I could foresee that. And then during the session, I felt that it was very informative, it was very professional. I love the insight and the guidance that I felt that I can get through the association and the people, people who are supporting that association and part of that association, especially the artist and the. You know, I met Jason and all other artists that are part of it. It's so. It was very nice to see that community. And after the session, I feel that I wanna. I feel more strongly committed to pursuing my career in art. And that's my feedback. So please join paa, It's a great community of artists to get some guidance and get your work out there in the world. Thank you.

What I learned from the four Day Challenge was how you build and maintain your roadmap for your artistic career and how to determine which kind of galleries you're looking for and how to make your work gallery ready. How to stand out as an artist and learn to have a professional portfolio that's ready to be submitted and also have your artwork at the right price. And we saw how professionals from different domain expertise offered advice and information. It was very useful to us artists and how to have gallery representation. All of the speakers gave very useful information. Rosalind Davis gave us valuable information coming from experience and Jason gave us great advice on how to approach galleries and make a proposal to them. So it was really a wonderful four days.

I'm Dorette Pollard. Before joining the challenge, I wanted to open my own gallery to keep it in house. And after joining the challenge, I recognize that in order to. I see that in order to achieve my goal, I need to delegate, as Christina Villa delegated to a photographer, for example, or as Jason Horash in his experience reminded us and told me of how important it is to be to work with a gallery and to be prepared to work with a gallery. I would recommend the VIP pass. If you're looking to challenge your preconceived ideas, you'll get benefit from the questions and answers. And I'm sure I will go back to my notes time and time again. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Cheryl Rupprecht, and I just finished the four day challenge, and let me tell you, it was quite an inspiration to be part of this group. And all the information that was shared, my head was just swimming after the classes and all the things that I would have to do. And anyway, then I got looking at my portfolio, or what would be the start of my portfolio. And. And what I'm saying is, after doing art fairs now for three years, this has truly given me the inspiration and the path to follow to continue on and maybe not have to work quite so hard, but also to get myself organized, keep myself motivated. So thanks again for all that you did and all the information you shared. It was truly inspirational and I look forward to going ahead.

After searching the Internet for inspiration to generate income with my art and find galleries, I got a VIP pass to the four day challenge with the Professional Artists Association. Not only did I find inspiration, but I also got an education. I gained an incredible amount of knowledge and information.

After many years away from art making, I jumped back into creation and lately I was wondering what it might take to become gallery represented. When I saw the challenge online, I decided to jump in and I signed up for the VIP experience, which was really wonderful with the Q&As each day. There was open and honest communication, clearly stated, not underestimating the amount of commitment and consistency it would take, but also very encouraging. I'm so glad that I was able to have the experience and I'd recommend it to anybody. Thank you so much for a great four days.

Hei, olen Riikka ja kuvailen tämän Suomesta viimeisen päivän jäsenen jäsenen jälkeen, johon olin osallistunut. Olen todella onnellinen kurssin kanssa ja se oli kurssi, johon toivon, että olisin ollut, kun opiskelin maailman yliopistossa. Mutta silloin meillä ei ollut kursseja kuten tämä ja mitä se on. Kertoisin tämän ystävien kanssa, jotka ovat taiteilijoita. Kiitos, hei!

Hi, everybody. I'm the artist. Good one. I don't want to take up a lot of your time. I do just want to let you guys know that the VIP experience was the best investment that I've made in myself this year. Probably the best investment I've made in myself in many years. I highly recommend it. The question and answer portion at the end of the actual presentation. I honestly feel bad for everyone who missed it.

I so want to recommend the Professional Artists Association. I just finished the four day challenge and it was about getting gallery ready. And to be honest with you, I learned so much that I don't even know what to speak to in this recording. Most importantly was consistency of the art, doing research on the galleries. For me, what really impacted me most was was starting a folder of the artists who are like you, who inspire you, who do similar stuff as you, and sort of doing a deep dive into each one of those artists. I'm a novelist and we do this for when we pitch agents. We look at other books that are similar and how our book is different when we pitch an agent. So it fit into what I already knew to be the case in, in the. In the book industry. So thank you so much. I have so many notes. I filled an entire. Well, not the entire notebook, but I filled a lot of this notebook with thoughts and ideas and information. It was very practical. I found that the people had a great deal of integrity. It. There was no emotional manipulation. That can sometimes happen in the freebies where they pitched in the freebie they pitched their program. But it was done with quite a lot of clarity and straightforwardness. So I appreciated it and I will definitely do another challenge with them. I'm having my first call clarity call free clarity call next week and we'll then decide if I'm going to continue to pursue signing up for one of their programs. Thank you so much. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

So I just finished the fourth night of the Professional Artists Association Challenge. I have to say I was really impressed with how well it was run, with the variety of voices that we heard. I especially loved the camaraderie. I was a writer for 30 years, a journalist working for newspapers and magazines, and in the last six years I've transitioned pretty much to full time artist. I've had a couple of gallery shows, including a solo show which was very successful. But I lacked the expertise in how to move forward and how to apply to galleries and also just how to move forward. I just lacked some experience and some confidence. So this class has really given me that and I do plan to go on. I made the commitment to join the VIP sessions and I felt like the groups were so much smaller and more intimate. I would definitely choose to do that and I will continue with the program. I think it's fantastic for anyone at any stage to really give them confidence and just information and knowledge. It's very up to date and really relevant to the current art market.

Hi, Good afternoon. My name is Marine Strage and I just finished the four Days challenge with the Professional Artists association and I learned so much. Such a great energy with the group and the speakers. Jason de Garis was amazing. Miguel is always, like, pumping everybody and very reactive. There was very insightful recommendation and tips to really get ready and prepare to submit your portfolio to a gallery. So it really gives me the inspiration to just do it. Basically, that's what my next week is going to be focused on. So thank you, guys.

It was useful hearing about what galleries are looking for in a portfolio, and it gave me some clarity on what I should be working on next.

Hey everyone, My name is Dominik Klaassen, I'm an abstract artist from Germany and I just want to say thank you for this beautiful five day event. I could learn a lot about doing my research, how to properly approach galleries and how to address some of my limiting beliefs around approaching the art world and getting my artwork out there. Also very important for me was the low, mid and high tier on my website making it easier for art lovers and people that want to own one of my works to actually get into the flow of purchasing. And the other thing was the importance of continuation, keep going, producing more works and not giving up, looking at limiting beliefs around approach and knowing also there's other people out there that are facing the same and just yeah, making, making it known what we're facing, what we're dealing with in our minds and yeah stepping up to the next level and letting ourselves be more free and available to actually show up for what we want to do. So thank you so much for your time and I appreciate you.

I have just completed the Get Gallery Ready Challenge offered by the Professional Artist Institute and I have to say at the start I thought, well, what have I got to lose? But I very quickly realized that I was compounding my knowledge exponentially because each day built on the previous and offered new and relevant hands on practical advice. The course was so interactive. I really enjoyed following the live chat comments that the other participants put up and I learned a lot from them too. I was able to get many of my own questions answered in the Q and A sessions that followed each day of the course, and I found these sessions to be particularly valuable. At the start I was a bit worried that I might not be able to keep up with the tech side of things, but honestly, they make it so easy. I was given just two links, one for the courses and one for the Q and A sessions, and these were the same links I used for the duration of the course. Course I would highly recommend anyone sitting on the fence about doing any PAA challenges to jump in. I know I certainly will be doing the next one. They're wonderful.

Hello everybody. I'm Meenu. I'm an abstract landscape artist based in Yorkshire in England and I have been painting for seriously for the last four, five years and I recently took the course on gallery presentation with the Professional Artist Association. I'm already an associate member and have been for the last couple of years been receiving their information and going through their videos and it's been a really amazing journey. And the recent five day course was all absolutely phenomenal. I saw so many experts give their advice so willingly and also the questions from the audience made it such a richer experience. My personal, my personal celebration was also that I got, I had made the portfolio as instructed by Jason Horace and during the course of those five days I sent in an application and the first application got, got accepted. So I've, you know, I went to take my work out to the gallery and during the course of the second day I got another gallery as well. So that I think is a memorable week for me. And I have to thank the PAA for all the prep work that I did with them and the huge boosts of confidence I received from listening to a lot of the information they have shared with us over the years. So I would encourage any artist to look at this wonderful organization which is dedicated to helping all artists. Thank you.

Hello, My name is Senka Asenova. It has been a great pleasure to be accepted as a member at Professional Artists Association. I was surprised of all professional information presented during five Day Challenge and for this reason I will recommend Professional Artists association to my friends. Thank you so much and good luck. Thank you. Bye.

Hi there, it's Sari Friz and I just completed the five day challenge with Professional Artists association focused on gallery representation. And I want to just say hats off to you because it was the most worthwhile use of my time in a long time. Miguel presented great information about how to prepare to be represented by a gallery. And as an artist who isn't currently represented, I found that to be extremely helpful to give some structure and organization and ideas about what you need to do. And then the one on one live sessions afterwards by zoom with all the other artists was just incredibly invaluable to be able to ask questions, hear other people's questions, and learn from the experts. Hats off to you guys. Thank you so much. Highly recommend this to a friend. Absolutely.

It has been absolutely fabulous. The five day challenge is just like, it really makes you focus on, on, on the gallery side of things. I found it really inspiring. Couple of takeaways were Iona, who was a hobbyist and. And then turned professional, which is what I'm doing. And I have actually done a workshop with Iona. So that was quite amazing as well. So it's just really a big thank you. There's a huge amount of work gone into this. I appreciate how much hard work has gone into it and I'm sure there are a lot of people who have taken a lot of things away with them. The other. The second thing, the second takeaway I think was the questions and answers, but I wasn't involved in them. But that was like a little training session on its own. So as I say, thank you so much. Thank you to all the team. I've now got a lot of research to do. Okay, so take care. Thank you so much. Bye.
