Breaking News: Artists Shatter Their Own Limits, Charging What They’re Worth with New Mentorship Program

By Benji Vinci, Art Business Times

— In an era where artists are constantly battling between their passion and their paycheck, a new mentorship is shaking up the art world by empowering creators to confidently price and sell their art for over $2,000.

After years of witnessing talented artists undersell their work and struggle to build profitable businesses, Astrid Mendieta launched a mentorship program with a mission: to guide artists in transforming their creative talent into a sustainable income. But this isn’t your average art course—participants describe it as a “transformative journey” where they learn not only business tactics but also how to stand confidently behind their worth.

A Journey from “Starving Artist” to Art Business Success

“The mentorship helped me update my vision as an artist and reflect on the value I should charge for my work, feeling comfortable and confident with it,” says Claudia Cousineau, one of the mentorship’s early participants. “I was also able to dive deeper into the origin of my art, its purpose, and its contribution to others. Having clarity around my message and mission, along with the confidence to charge for my work, opened many doors that I could walk through with total assurance. After the mentorship, I feel I achieved the perfect balance between sensitivity and a strategic mindset, which today defines me as an abundant artist capable of managing my own business through my creations.”

​

The mentorship offers a unique approach, mixing practical sales and marketing strategies with a powerful mindset shift. Artists gain insight into how to attract high-paying collectors and build a brand that resonates.
