Why You Need a Personal Artist Mentor

Save time and errors

Our mentors have been where you are and where you want to be. Don’t waste unnecessary time making mistakes when you can learn from someone who’s already made them for you.

Get next-level accountability

You might already have an idea of where to go with your art—and if not, that’s okay, too—but you need the sort of accountability that you only get when you pay someone for it. With Art Club Pro, you’re tapping into a strong support system that will ensure you achieve your goals.

Fast-track your success

They say it’s all about whom you know, and while you certainly can achieve whatever you set your mind to, it helps to have some friends who’ve been there before. Start connecting with the right people.

Personal critiques and dedicated support 

Don’t understand why you aren’t getting your proportions right? Having a hard time mixing colors? Want to know the best art supplies to buy? Want to know how to sell more art? Our mentors are there to help you with all these questions and more, with answers you can count on.

If You're Like Most Artists ...

Then you’ve probably tried going to your local artist guild, taking local art classes, taking an online course here and there, or maybe you went to art school hoping that would help you start a career in art. 
But you haven’t gotten the results you wanted because you didn’t have the proper support system in place and it wasn't tailored to your individual needs.
What you need is an Art Club Pro Mentor, an artist to listen to exactly what you’re trying to achieve, and work with you until you get there.
The Fast Track to Success
