Dr. Amy Kweskin

Founder of Artsightful

I am the sum of my parts, each of which is creative, courageous, compassionate, and curious. Together these are the essences I bring to my work as a consultant, educator and leader in the Business of Art. My strategic planning tools are shared in the publications Business of Art: An Artist’s Guide to Profitable Self-Employment. I derive joy in the pursuit of life-long learning as an educator teaching Arts Entrepreneurship, Strategic Arts Leadership, Arts and the Art in the Marketplace at universities across the US. Because I am always pursuing a deeper understanding of the Business of Art I earned my Doctor of Business Administration by conducting research into artist employment: Exploration of California worker status law compliance on arts fiscal sponsors and fiscally sponsored arts projects: A case study. Both my DBA and Masters in Arts Administration were earned at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, California. To unite the mind-body connection in all of my practices I earned a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Certification from The Yoga Room in Berkeley, California and a Diploma in NeuroLinguistic Programming from The Coaching Academy in London, England.
