My name is Crista Cloutier, and I help artists to be better at what they do.

A common story I hear from artists is of struggle. Strive! Push! Work hard to achieve success!

So you do the work. But you’re still not “there.”

You feel lost. Unsure.
You ask yourself if the work is good.
You ask if you’re worthy.
Time flies by.

Your art's not achieving the recognition it deserves. You’re not receiving the financial reward you want. Your career isn’t feeding you.

If you’re an artist who hasn't yet been able to achieve your dreams …I can help.

I’ve worked in and around the world of Contemporary Art throughout my career. I've placed work in nearly every major US institution and have sold millions of dollars in art to galleries and collectors worldwide. My files now reside at the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution.

As the leader of The Working Artist, I teach artists and other creatives about the business of art. My skills include unique creativity paired with unparalleled marketing savvy. Add to that a profound understanding of the art business.

LinkedIn has named me as an "Influencer in Contemporary Art." The Royal Society of Arts in the UK has honored me as a Fellow. And I’m an invited member of the French Academy for Arts, Sciences, and Letters.

Specialties: Teaching creatives like you how to manage and market your own creative work, making your art practice profitable.
