Jacqueline Coates with students of the Make Money From Art(TM) Program at the first Barossa Art Residency at Salon Rouge Gallery, Kapunda, SA in 2012 |
In 2012, South Australian artist and single mum Jacqueline Coates decided to take her art teaching practice and revolutionary Blooms Painting Method(TM) to the world and created the Make Money From Art(TM) Program, a new concept in art school involving teaching how to paint and how to create an art business that will succeed.
Almost five years later Jacqueline has mentored well over 100 students from all corners of the globe in her 12 month content program, as well as Australia wide with skype mentoring, comprehensive teaching manuals, an app and live painting workshop intensives. In February 2017 she will show the work of her students alongside her own and celebrate the successes of her students along the way.
Bon Beach Victoria artist Michelle Endersby learned how to paint then had her first major exhibition in New York |
Jacqueline's students have included a forensic criminal detective, mums, nurses, a wedding cake maker, an accountant, a jillaroo, a pharmacist, a banker, a family lawyer, a real estate agent, a school teacher and a yoga teacher. They have come from outback Queensland and all states of Australia, from Dubai, New Jersey in the USA, Singapore, NZ, and Kuala Lumpur.
Jacqueline started by creating a wish list she would have loved to have had herself as an emerging artist, to help new artists flourish, be empowered quickly and support themselves in their own business with a distinctive body of work instead of wasting valuable time making typical mistakes most do when starting out.
.
Students and graduates of the Make Money From Art Program have successfully shown in New York, New Orleans,
had their painting splashed across a designer range of clothes, created home wares ranges and other products, sold commissions and plenty of paintings to pay for their art habit during the the program with an attitude of earn while you learn. Far from being penniless artists, one student made $27,000 during the program from winning art prizes and selling paintings.
Far from being penniless artists, like most art school students are, it's the norm for Jacqueline's students to make money from their art whilst they learn to paint and create their business. One student made $27,000 during the program from winning art prizes and selling paintings on the way.
'The difference between how I teach and how a traditional art school teaches their students,' says Jacqueline, is the practical mentoring the participants receive from a real life selling artist, not an art teacher on a wage.
'I'm in the business of nurturing artrepreneurs, who can stand on their own two feet, believe in themselves, think laterally, not accept sheep thinking, and creatively support themselves through their art to enjoy a lifestyle as an artist. I also nurture their unique qualities so they can shine and enjoy appreciation from others.'
-Jacqueline Coates
Another student created a six figure income and was able to leave her job for good and take the family on a holiday they otherwise wouldn't have had if not for her art successes.
In February Burra Regional Art Gallery will host Jacqueline Coates art and her students, hold artist talks and workshops. The exhibition promises to be stimulating, and exhibit artists with wide ranging interests who make money from art.
Jacqueline will be launching her book Make Money From Art during the exhibition.
