Why is NOW the right time
to create your business?
Increasing interest and appreciation for
Expressive Arts experiences means
we need more studios and practitioners
to meet the growing demand!
•
Books such as Your Brain on Art by Ivy Ross
and Susan Magsamen are raising mainstream awareness through evidence based research
of how critical the arts are for our mental and physical wellbeing.
•
‘Arts on Prescription’ is an emerging model gaining traction in the U.S. Healthcare providers can now refer patients to art experiences alongside traditional referrals to medication and specialists!
•
This isn’t just a trend—it’s becoming formal legislation: in March 2026, Georgia became the first U.S. state to pass legislation recognizing the arts as a vital healthcare resource and allowing healthcare providers to write referrals for the arts.
•
Arts on Prescription is also expanding globally:
now practiced across the UK, Australia, Denmark,
Sweden, and Greece.
•
Advancements in technology need the balance
of community and the embodied experiences of creativity through visual art, dance, music, writing and drama.

Why could investing on the front end
of your business be helpful?
Being part of this intensive
one year grow your business program
can help because:
•
You will have the chance to learn and grow
with others so what one person learns, we all learn.
•
Having companions on your journey can help increase your feeling of belonging. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely business.
•
.Being on a journey where you are accountable to others can help you keep moving forward,
especially when it is hard.
•
.When we are creating our dream we can come up against roadblocks that we actually create for ourselves. Designing your business and using the
Expressive Arts resources in your process can help you clear your internal path which makes the external path smoother and more enjoyable.
•
Spending money upfront may help you steer clear of mistakes that could cost you as much or more as when you are learning on your feet.
•
Sometimes as artists and helpers the business details are not as interesting or easy as the creative sides of the business. There can be a tendency to avoid the hard stuff. We will look for ways to embrace the hard stuff so our businesses, and we, can thrive.
