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 0f 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.

I am a professional artist and arts manager originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and now based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My work as content and marketing strategist is informed by my experience as an artist manager, actress, and wardrobe technician. I bring my familiarity with variety entertainment, film, opera, theatre, and fine arts together to guide business ventures in the arts to the successful realization of their goals. I am a recent graduate of the University of Oklahoma’s Arts Management master’s degree program. During my studies at OU I started my small business, Tristan and Michelle Productions, and wrote about the ethics and art of producing for film and television. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in History from Penn State University.
